    Try it, it's great fun. And also try switching sides of the car and see how it affects cabin air circulation. Gotta be a four-door, though. I think it reduces aerodynamic drag as opposed to opening windows on opposite sides of the car.

    Too bad there are no more vent windows.

    Here I sit in texas, and as I type this it is 11am in the morning and I am running the ac. But my wife and daughter are in the car so I need to keep it comfortable for them.
