hat/helmet writers

Somebody started in with the hat/ backwards baseball cap/helmet stuff when the reviews started, and every writer since has chimed in with the same image. It just looks like a bold creative different roof to me, with curves that look a bit like some of the cooler BMW coupes/hardtop convertibles...as stated elsewhere, the people I meet who go out of their way to comment on it never say anything about hats and helmets. They just think it's real cool.
The fact that people go out of their way to comment is my favorite aspect of the attention....it's breaking them out of their isolated tunnel vision as they walk by. Good stuff.
