Sure, it’s supposed to hit the mid-90s today—but is that really a good enough reason to drive around in your car with your shirt off, guys? LET’S GO TO THE POLLS!
SHIRTLESS MEN DRIVING AROUND
As always, defend your answer in the comments below.
Bang bang, choo-choo train, let me see you shake that thang. Wm. Steven Humphrey is the editor-in-chief of the Portland Mercury and has held the job since 2000. (So don’t get any funny ideas.) More by Wm. Steven Humphrey
Are you talking about shirtless guys, shirtless girls, or shirtless everyone?
All I can think about when I see guys in cars without shirts on is: Sweaty upholstery.
Guys you are sweating into your car seat, sweat into your shirt please.
Graham, we’re talking NO shirtless girls, no shirtless UJ, no shirtless nobody but buff guys!
Hey, you know the rules: Suns out? Guns out.
Nothing is worse than sweaty car seats, put a layer of cloth between your skin and the cushion.
My car has leather upholstery, so no shirtless driving for me. However, I can imagine a situation where being shirtless is optimal, and I wouldn’t want to deprive anyone of their comfort.
What about putting a towel down?
I am very much in favor of Condemn/Allow, as a much better system then the confusion of overrated/underrated/rated. (because you care)
While I voted to condemn, I’m often glad that people choose ways to express themselves that let me know, at great distance, that they are douchebags to be avoided.
Public shirtlessness is the classic example. An acoustic guitar in a park is another.
I usually vote against tacky things, but I really have no problem whatsoever with shirtless driving. I hardly consider it public shirtlessness – you’re in a car!
Summer lasts for about a month and a half. I say anything goes during that time period.
It’s the 2nd Amendment baby: the right to bare arms.
I grab my cooler filled with wine and gas water, I place on some Thin Lizzy on my 8 track, my sweet tennis shorts are on, I ride along my top-less Mustang AND YOU WANT ME TO KEEP MY SHIRT ON????
when its hot/sunny, it’s pretty ultimate to be shirtless, especially while riding bikes. the car thing is kinda douche-y looking in an around town sense, but drive for 600 miles in one day through some desert valley in the SW with no A/C and you’ll want your shirt off.
Wow, public shirtlessness is worthy of the “douchebaggery” label? Bunch of f’in ninnies up in this mutha. Amen @Chester Copperpot.
