The air intake opening arrangement is defined in an intake area and includes first and second pluralities of intake vents positioned within respective first and second open areas of the intake area with first and second closed areas extending between the first and second open areas. The first and second open areas and first and second closed areas each positioned within respective quarters of the intake area.
