Neat idea but what happens in a 25/30 knot breeze?

Have not seen anything past 10 so far but it has a fairly large suction cup. I live in NorCal so nothing to bad as far as wind goes in the summer.

This is a well known "expanding umbrella" (almost like a self expanding tent). It is not supposed to be used when driving, lol, just to shade the car when it's parked.

I've consider it at one point but I don't camp that often ...

E-200 CDI on steroids (W212)
If they only made it bigger......... A fridge, a relaxing chair and some drinks........ Ok, back to reality..

Is that adjustable? Maybe we can use it to save fuel and do some "S-Class para-sailing"......... Ok, that´s enough..

Will this be an expensive option for the S-Class, i will only install it if it's fully electric....... I quit.
