uhh yeah need more cargo space!.......... but no thought it might be interesting to try for a drive in a hot day. Just wondering if it affects the structural ridgidity. Yeah it looks slightly goofy tho.

LMao, it looks like a subaru BRAT, pretty gay imo.

So I would vote "no" not a good idea.
But if you want lots of fresh air, i guess its good..

I always thought about doing that, just because it gets pretty damn hot here and I have no a/c, but it just looks weird.

I dont think it would be worth it. If your going fast your not going to get much air into the car unless your in reverse. Might work if your cruzin tho.
