Default Debris in the cabin

As I'm cruising top-down on a nice back-road to get to another part of the research facility, I spot one of those industrial John Deer lawn movers the city uses for the side of the road. I slow down to make sure he's not blowing grass and I see that he's not cutting so I speed up to pass, but as soon as I got within 20 yards he cuts the blades on and I'm stuck in a whirlwind of flying grass and dirt. Of course my windows were still down and by the time I passed it all my eyes were covered in sand and there was grass all over the cabin. Now I have some heavy vacuuming ahead of me, if only my windows would have been up I would have been a lot better off, I have the saki gt roll hoop mod which works amazingly.

Just wanted to share my crappy experience of the day, excuse me while I go and vacuum

^^Fixed, thanks for catching that haha.

Its just a wind blocking mods that goes into the roll hoops instead of the ones they sell for the back of the head rest. I can't really compare how much wind the headrest one reduces but the roll hoop one is very noticeable. It was also discussed that the roll hoop should provide better wind reduction (which is explained in the thread). Well worth the $10 I spend on plexi glass.

here was the thread on it:

I had that happen once with some old stubborn guy in his front yard. He had the tractor blowing all his clippings in the road. I stopped my car before getting to his property, then he stopped as well from the confusion. Traffic started to back up behind me and the guy was not figuring it out. Finally I took a chance that he would not start back up and I gunned it past his yard. Thankfully he did not turn it back on until I had passed
