Once upon a time in America, people drove Packards and other automobiles long distances, over the hills and far away, without cupholders, air conditioning, power seats, seat warmers, and without constantly eating whilst behind the wheel. But then, most Americans weren't clinically obese, either.

Lets see. driving any car in 100 degree heat is fun? Cup holders are frivolous? The word that crosses my mind is curmudgeon....

As a licensed old fart, hydration and comfort are two key parts to the senior triad of pleasure and satisfaction. Since someone is bound to ask, the third leg of the tripod is of course regularity......

Going two hours to an event in hot weather is debilitating; driving home is exhausting. Adding air can certainly be seen as adding safety; in any event it's far less desecrating than leaving a car in a leaky barn for umpteen years meaning to get to it someday.
