I've lived in Phoenix going on fifty years and don't recall having ever seen
anyone driving with curtains closed.  Once I n a while a roll-up
semi-transparent screen,  and occasionally, out on the highways you'll see
someone with a towel hung over a closed window to keep off afternoon sun.

|If you spend any time in the southwestern portions of the USA,
|especially in hot weather, you will see a lot of people driving around
|with curtains or shades in their windows.  Not just in vans and RVs,
|but in all shapes and sizes of passenger vehicles from economy cars to
|large SUVs.  I do it regularly, even in New England.  It is an easy
|way to help keep passengers comfortable in the summer heat.
