This previous Saturday, police in Victoria, Australia ticketed a lady for driving her Hyundai Palisade and not using a windshield, rear window, or any of the automobile’s typical front-end accoutrement — a hood, fenders, headlights, issues of that nature. I, for one, suppose this lady did completely nothing incorrect.
Take a look at it this fashion. You’re a longtime, 41-year-old lady. You’ve made it sufficient to get your palms on a brand new Palisade, so it’s doubtless you’re utilizing the automobile as Hyundai supposed: hauling round children, canine, or different assorted smaller dwelling beings. You got an SUV since you wanted the house.
However does that imply it’s important to sacrifice your desires of feeling the breeze in your face? I say no. But, with no three-row choices available on the market named “Wrangler” or “Bronco,” how are you imagined to get the wind in your hair in your commute, grocery run, or journey to the wreckers seeking new physique panels?
There’s just one wise resolution, and it’s to smash out most — however not all — of your entrance windshield. In actual fact, take the rear out too. It’s good to think about the venturi impact, and the way you’ll get all the recent air out of your automobile to permit cool, contemporary air in from the entrance.

It’s mainly a speedster! You may simply image somebody behind the wheel of this Palisade, classic driving goggles and gloves on, partaking within the Mille Miglia like the remainder of the automotive world’s most well-fixed. And the Palisade ought to excel at it — with these entrance panels eliminated, not solely has the automobile’s weight doubtless been decreased into superleggera territory, however the weight distribution has been moved additional again for optimum rear-end grip.
The proprietor of this Palisade is clearly simply an fanatic, on the lookout for one of the best efficiency and motoring expertise out of her sensible crossover. She’s not hurting anybody, she’s simply making her commute a bit extra pleasurable. Who doesn’t need that?
