Why'd you roll down the window? You were in a covertable! :headscratch
Consider that the top may have been up and the windows closed.
BINGO!!

My bad. When you gave the description of the car and said convertible, I took that to mean the top was down.

I road my motorcycle between a line of cars and ran a red light to
