Dang, the Land Rover was ahead of its time.
That's a Defender, the Goat of off road vehicles.
I'm pretty sure this is the Goat of off roading:
Climbing 89° slopes because they crave that mineral

When you want the bugs shot directly into your face
If only we still had bugs.
But we don't, and that should fucking terrify everybody.
If only more people used redneck air conditioning. And I'm not kidding I'm going to school for HVAC cause I don't want to starve in the street. Do y'all understand how bad this shit is?? It was supposed to be a medical device and y'all mofos set that shit to 65 to sleep. I'm not bougie and I understand that the 1% does most of the polluting but we need to change how we live

In practice, with a normal amount of bugs it doesn't really happen
The inside of the intake gets dirty as fuck.
Yeah, who doesn't want hot and humid air blowing in their face on a hot and humid day?
Don't forget about the bugs! Bees and wasps, funnelled right at your face. Pure, car crash convenience.
I'll be honest. I think insects are either learning not to go around roads or there are way fewer insects. I can't remember the last time I had a bug on my windshield
The insect apocalypse is real.
Every gas station used to carry bug-b-gone to get the guts off your windshield and headlights.
We're something like 75% down seasonally and 80% down midsummer since 2000.

Yes, the insects have been getting smarter, avoiding roads and living happy lives on lush meadows without disturbing us.
That's the reality I chose to believe in!
They have all gone to live happily on a farm.

Beyond the moderate dubiousness of the intended mechanism here, if that thing isn't somehow strapped down or secured beyond being nestled into the half rolled up window, that could very easily come ajar from significant braking or accelerating.
I can't tell you how many times I've been in cars where the driver just piles loose shit all over their dash, or has a fucking chandelier attached to their rearview mirror, which have come loose and hit people in the face or gotten wedged in some wonky position, and this has lead to an actual or near car accident.
It rolling off the dash is the least of people's problems. Depending on the location it might just get launched into your face at 100 miles an hour by an airbag deploying.
Whenever I see people with their feet up on the dash I know they have never seen a person after an air bag has hit them .
This cannot be good for your fuel efficiency.
Neither are other methods of air conditioning/circulation.
man my old Cruze dropped about 1/3 of its power efficiency if you wanted to use AC while trying to get up to speed and merge on the highway
gotta cut the cooling to engage the afterburners
As a geek, I want to refer to this as transferring life support to main engines.
I still do that in my fiesta. Easier than kicking out a passenger
At least your fiesta gets up that fast. I had an old tempo. when I got up to 50 it rattled so bad. One time, I was very fortunate no one was behind me and it was a country road with very little traffic, because at 55 the rear passenger door fucking fell off. I was so mad I almost left the door there, but I popped it back on the hinge, latched it shut, locked the door, broke the lock knob so no one would ever open it again, and then duct taped the thing on as best I could.
I did not go on a lot of dates when I drove that car.

My Dodge Shadow and Neon were the same.

They could just remove the front and rear windshields and wear goggles.
Does it at least has a swamp cooler inside, for somewhat colder, but more humid air?
ooooook, in the city this would create your own smog box!
Where do you think the ac gets it's air from? Either inside the cabin, or the same place this thing gets it's air from.
Except the car's HVAC system passes air through a filter. How much of a difference that makes is going to depend on the type of filter and whether it's been changed sufficiently often, but it's definitely doing more than nothing.
