I definitely get frustrated with the old air-cooled car sometimes. Particularly when I go on long road trips. I get jealous of how comfortable the newer stuff is, but when the roads get fun those thoughts are out the window
I've been giving a lot of thought to devising ways to make my car more comfortable on long roadtrips. I have a few ideas borrowed from various builds that I'm going to employ as time and funds allow.
I find I'm willing to give a little ground on weight to improve the car's functionality. So don't be surprised when I add 20lbs more to the car in an effort to make it a better version of itself. (to be followed shortly thereafter with a lightweight battery or lopping off some superfluous parts)

P.S. I've put another couple hundred miles on it and, lo, the windscreen remains.
