Wow, that experience can only be from a graduate-level seminar at the 
College of Hard Knocks.   I would be the kind of dope who was admiring 
the pretty girls and never thinking about their killer stiletto 
heels...so I thank you for sharing.

As far as sitting on the convertible top (assuming the boot is in 
place), I have four daughters and live in a small town and, when they 
were younger, they would ride up there every time they could. My 3rd 
daughter, in particular, prided herself on her "Queen's Wave" ... to 
people out walking their dogs.  It's a great time for all involved, so 
basically just enjoy it.

I agree that a Corvair traveling in a parade is basically just idling so 
overheating shouldn't be an issue.  A Corvair that overheats while 
idling would likely have other issues besides damper doors...
