Drivers who wear baseball caps have low I.Q.'s
Discussion
I am here to tell you that there is nothing more likely to make me feel that a driver has a low I.Q. than if he/she wears a baseball cap. And that applies especially to 'matching pairs' who drive hairdressers convertibles like MGF's, MX5's and Z3's.
As for the 'IQ reducers' worn by the Max Power brigade, if you are reading this I have this to say to you:
You are the saddest, stupidest moron ever to get behind a wheel.
Surely there must be great numbers of the 'silent majority' of you out there who feel like I do? If so then vent your anger
Regards
The Captain

Tight Budget? Apache. I've seen Carnage they spend thousands of pounds on a stereo.
I had a tight budget when I was young so I went and built a car. Its all down to attitude.
I have soooo many times had a tw@t in a baseball cap believe he can out-perform you and wants to race off every line. A hot-hatch with a set of plastic wings, and 8" exhaust is not a performance car. If budget is tight buy a classic just as much fun (if not more) and shows you have a brain. (insurance is cheaper too)
Baseball caps: okay outside whilst watching motorsport (right way round as that keeps the sun out of your eyes). In a car (esp one with a roof) = pr@t.

Ted, take your point. Fine, baseball cap worn the correct way around OUTSIDE a car is fine with me. Even I have been known to do so, though rarely. There's just something about them which, well, lacks class. Call me a snob.
Maybe I'm just lucky having a very full head of hair, but at 90mph down the motorway top down I wouldn't dream of being a wuss and wearing one. And that goes for any time of year. Hope that answers your question, McNab.
Really it boils down to a deep hatred of yuppys who can't drive and morons with sound systems more powerful than their lawnmower engines.
I Still think baseball caps are IQ reducers.
Smeagol, I couldn't agree with your comments more, especially re: classic car ownership. One must learn how to DRIVE as well as point and squirt. And what TVR owner pays less than £200 a year fully comp for their insurance, eh? I do. Ha!

There was a survey in the US that found that people who wear their baseball caps backwards have lower IQ's. I don't think you can apply it to anyone who wears a baseball cap normally.
I wear one because it keeps the sun out of my eyes. I don't wear it at 90mph because the turbulence in the cabin of my S rips it off at approximate 70mph.
So you don't want to buy one then Cap'n?

I wear one with the top down so that
a) the sun doesn't get in my eyes
b) my hair doesn't have yet another reason to fall out (particularly over 70*)
I usually wear one of two: one from a very cool bar (Bobo's) in St. Anton, the other a Joni Mitchell tour hat. Couldn't be any less Max Power really.
I don't think my IQ has suffered unduly in my year of TVR ownership and consequent baseball cap wearage.
*where legal
(And, Chaos, isn't there a stray apostrophe in your thread title? What is the I.Q. posessing precisely?
)

Ted, re: the survey you mentioned - Quod Erat Demonstradum.
I wear sunglasses to keep the sun out of my eyes (and the bugs, grit etc) but I can concede that you have a good argument. I just hate 'em, that's all. Grrrrrrrr !
And after a journey at 90mph ragtop down I do look like worzel gummedge. But my hair hasn't fallen out yet.

Captain Sir,
To save time let me explain the point of my question. It was not intended rudely.
If you shave your head, or have short tight curly hair, then there is no point in wearing a baseball cap in an open car, and I envy you.
If, on the other hand, you have straight hair, even if it is thinning rapidly like mine
it thrashes about on your forehead and causes perpetual irritation; perhaps even introverted road rage!
That's why some of us find baseball caps quite useful, and not necessarily detrimental to our IQ. You might recommend a flat tweed cap, but I think these are a bit out-of-date unless you drive a Bentley or Bugatti!
With respect,
McNab.
P.S. Dammit, who would have thought that Marshy was over seventy - he's always sounded quite young............

McNab, you are a gentleman and a scholar, Sir. No offence taken.
Actually I wouldn't mind wearing the full Mr.Toad ensemble (leather coat, goggles, gauntlets etc) but I haven't managed to save up enough to buy that vintage La France with a 12 Litre engine (but I will in time).

If you're being serious then you represent everything I detest in (some) TVR drivers. I mean, what the hell is a 'chim' for chrissake? Does your trusty (haha) steed not have a proper name? Ye Gods 
If you're trying to be funny, well, I ain't laughing.

As for smartarse Marshy who pointed out the alleged typographical error in my title - the apostrophe isn't possessing anything, it merely shortens 'Intelligence Quotients' :d
What's the :d for then Captain? I wondered if it was a typographical error for a big grin smiley - but I don't want to be accused of being a smartarse.

Captain,
Of course, it is possible you noticed this and edited it out your post to remove the incriminating evidence. If however it was edited out by mistake (keyboard too small for the fingers or wild head of hair in the eyes) then I am pleased that my previous quote restores it for you.
