Smoking in your civic on a rainy day....

I know its kind of a strange topic, but does anyone have any tips for smoking in your car on a rainy day? I usually like the window open a lil way so the car will vent and I can ash my cigarette... this leaves me with the following options...

1) Buy those black "boomarang" shaped visors for the outsides of the window... UGLY!
2) Have a towel close by to wipe the inside every couple of minutes...annoying
3) Suffer through the raindrops getting all over me... no thanks
4) QUIT SMOKING!! .....already tried more than once

So, does anyone have their own personal style to it or have any insider's tips?
Help would be much appreciated because it's supposed to rain here in massachusetts for the next few days

they have this thing called ionic breeze by sharper image... it does all the venting, and all you do is get the car plug in version and plug it in your cigarette lighter... and as for ashing.... ash in your ASH tray!... if you don't have one, get one.. theyr'e cheap.

This is my advice figuring i just got all 30! burn holes fixed . If you keep your windows closed and your vents on floor setting only ash when ya gots to and when you do go for the very rear of your window and only open your window a crack the less air flowing in your car the better. i'd rather have the ashes hit the side of my car rather than my back seat. AND SOLUTION#2 is QUIT SMOKING I"M TRYIN!

I don't smoke, but since you have a prob try this- smoke when not in your car, while your in your car no one is allowed to smoke, if you smoke in your car put $5 in a jar. At the end of the year hopefully you won't have that nasty smell in your car, if you do spend the money you put in the jar for a cool mod or to get your car professionally washed/ shampooed to get rid of the smell

ionic will clean the air.... however.. it will not get rid of the smell that will seep into your seats an everything....

jus dont smoke when it rains... if you have to... pull under a gas station or convience store overhang.. an chill out jay an silent bob style..

hey Masheen, where do you live, Bloomfield Hills, W. Bloomfield? I live in West Bloomfield, off of Walnut near Farmington.

EDIT: I know I shouldn't have put this in the forums, but he doesn't have an e-mail address or anything in his profile, and he didn't turn on his PM [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG] lol
