Ducttape has a CR Cabrio and was on an extended drive with the top down.  This is not what should be happening to a CABRIO

They also posted the proper way to drive the Cabrio,  not my way mind you;

The remarkable thing about this is that they flipped it back over and drove it home.  The windshield wasn't even broken.

And one front window was broken on the first flip over and the flip back over broke the other one. Actually looks pretty good for being flipped over.

That says a great deal for those in doubt of the safety factor in size.
