Faux Convertible   (+2)  [vote for, against]
A car where the windshield and windows and hood are all some sort of strong non-scratchable clear heavy plastic.

You get all the advantages of a convertible without the wind, rain and cold. It would also protect you from dangerous sun rays while affording a great view. Perfect for touring.

The solar retention of glass with none of the pesky structural integrity of steel.

Nothing can replace a real convertible.

Plug one ot those 12v fans into the cigarette lighter while it's parked in the sun and it could double as a "Solar Convection Oven." Just lay a pot roast on the seat while you're at work, and dinner is done when it's time to go home...
