Hmm, are you suggesting that a woman ought to marry several men (polyandry) as is the practice in Nepal?

Actually I have been in a car where the rear window did infact explode (sorta). I was the passenger and the window on my friends car literally erupted into the car behind him. They said that with the high summer heat, the color of the car and the shape of the window are what caused it. And before you say it isn't hot enough, Arizona summer heat can make your car over 140 degrees easily.

Not quite...lol...I was suggesting that his inference that mother-in-laws are brainless is as ridiculous as car windows exploding from the heat induced pressure build up in your car interior.

Now back to the original subject since some people still seem to think it is possible. The difference in air pressure at the same altitude and under the same atmospheric conditions at 100 degrees as opposed to 140 degrees or even 200 degrees is minimal especially in a non airtight space. So if car windows were not capable of standing up to this minimal pressure difference they would be totally worthless....think about it.

The interior is vented, even with the windows up. The air passage for the ac vent is open continuously to the outside and there is also an exit vent. On most cars it's in the rear just behind the bumper cover. pressure buildup over a log period is absolutely impossible.
