What's the purpose of this?

I see it a lot here in Texas. Someone will have their front windows up all the way, back windows down about 2-3 inches.

Do they also have their A/C on? Wouldn't the cracked windows suck the cold air out and make the car less cool?

If they have the A/C off, why not roll down all the windows for maximum draft and cooling effectiveness?

Can someone shed some light on this for me?

TIA

To let the farts out without them crossing your nose.

Letting the hot air out until it gets cool

I do this with my dogs in the back of the jeep. I don't want front windows down messing up my hair but know the dogs love the windows down.

really? you seriously don't get it? Driving alone in the car on a decent cool day. Crack the back passenger window 2-3 inches. Creates a pleasant draft in the car with air hitting back of your head. It's quieter and more comfortable than putting front windows down.

Ya big dummy.

I usually crack a bit of the driver side front and the rear passenger side. Creates a more breezy airflow than with just the driver window cracked (depending on outside wind and other pressures). I'll also usually crack the front passenger window if it's hot outside and a want more of a draft passing through, especially when i'm at a red light.

I don't really like AC that much and typically prefer the breeze even in SELA. Personal preference, though.

I drove to work this morning with sunroof open as well as the 3 inch cracked rear passenger window. Shush. The cracked rear window makes MUCH more consistent airflow than sunroof.

THIS GUY GETS IT.....(although I only crack them about two inches, maybe an inch and three quarters.)

they do like to stick their heads out of the window but why does it irritate the hell out of them if you blow in their face?

Not even close: I put the top down. I had LOTS of airflow!
