Staring into the sun

A pilot dark.
(The opposite of a pilot light).

Driving an open-topped speedster, you tend to accumulate a variety of hats, coats and gloves. My dad gave me the goggles which he picked up in some sort of tat sale and I bought the hat, ill-advisedly, at a classic car event. Never worn in anger because it makes me look like a dick. But my brother wore it at a Murder Mystery evening and I'm wearing it now. So that's plenty of wear then.
