My former boss used to travel a lot for business. He was an old gentleman in his sixties. Once he had to travel to a small town around Christmas time. His flight was delayed so at the airport car rental his reserved car was not available. The front desk clerk asked him to pick whatever he liked from what's available that night. He picked a fancy soft-top convertible that he never drove before.
He was very happy leaving the airport. The car was great, very powerful engine, great performance. It was a new car and probably very few people rented it before. But after 10-20 minutes he found that the heated car seat was a little too hot, and the adjustment button was not working. But the outside temperature was in teens, so he thought it shall be OK. He had a 3-hr drive before him and it was already almost midnight. He didn't want to reburn back to the airport to change car. So he drove on. The car seat got hotter and hotter, it could be just his feeling but he started sweating all over and had to raise half of his butt a few inches above the seat to cool off every 5 minutes. After a while his back started hurting. So he pulled off the road and took off his jacket and sweater. Then he left the windows down. During the last hour of his journey he had to drop the top and drive in snow, in a shirt. His head and shoulders were frozen off but his lower body was like sitting in a boiling hot tub. A police saw hie speeding by but didn't stop him, maybe too surprised to see somebody drive like this in a snowy night.
He said he never asked for a convertible again from car rental.
