What is it about women wanting to sit high above the traffic?? My wife is the same way.

we have to have personality to make up for our Napoleon complex.
I think the height thing is a real help for tailgating, it just doesnt feel as bad like people are coming in your back window. My wife is a good driver but when cut off or tailgated she is very passionate about gestures and screaming at other drivers.
I have observed this behavior and have noticed that in cooler temps, she doesnt do it.
In a car with no air conditioning, she has the windows open and is free to express herself on a second by second basis. This wagon is also very distinctive and memorable, and as you know, the entire state is very much a small town, so the A-hole you call an A-hole on tuesday might be the A-hole who tailgates you on thursday. I don't want any next day road rage situations where party B in the nondescript unrecognizable beige sedan recognizes party A in the vintage purple benz wagon, and does something.
A more nondescript generic vehicle with working air conditioning and higher up so she doesn't feel like people are driving in her back window is I think the solution. I found a 99 explorer that is nice, but forgettable to other drivers, and the windows will be up with the A/C on, a frank exchange of opinion is not going to be as instant.
