I’ll never forget the first (and maybe only?) time that I rode in a convertible. I was in junior high, and one of my friend’s mom had just bought one. We were going to the movies to meet some boys, and her mom drove us in the convertible. So. Cool. Now, this might have something to do with the fact that I grew up in New England where convertibles are not the most practical vehicle, but all I remember is feeling like someone was pointing a big fan at my face. A big, cold fan. My hair was all over the place, but I think I still managed to pull off a cool entrance to the theater where the boys were waiting for us (in my head at least).

If only Mercedes had thought of this one sooner: a wind guard that keeps the wind off of you while you cruise in your convertible.

Mercedes unveiled new models of E-class convertibles at the North American International Auto Show this week which feature a retractable wind shield to keep the wind off of your face and, more importantly, out of your hair. This does make me wonder though — does it completely eliminate the wind-in-my-hair effect? Because I always thought that was the appeal of driving a convertible. I guess some things I’ll just never understand! Would a wind guard make your convertible cruising more enjoyable?
