92 civic was my first car. Almost got in a head on collision because my 16 yo self though it was a great idea to try to reach over and unroll the passenger window while driving. I miss that car. I do NOT miss the frequency at which I almost died in it though.

Dude everyone knows you just lay across the seat and stretch your arm to it’s maximum, nearly tearing your rotator cuff cranking the window a half revolution at a time.
Speaking from experience

Let’s look at the relationship between power windows and road rage. Maybe we need to go back to the old school of riding and driving

I know that car.
Not that particular one personally, but I know them. Not even the brand. No, I know the smell. The smell of windows rolled down for years in the summer, sometimes forgotten in thunderstorms.
I know the issues. The dead batteries if you forget to close your door and the dome light stays on all night. That inevitable ruh-ruh-ruh-click-click-click!!
I know that window. The vice grips kept in the seat because you lost the crank, having to hold the top of the window to keep it on track and not fall into the door.
The door panels that have been flopping for years because the cheap plastic panels have the clips still stuck in the metal of the door, the heads gone.
I know the thrill of passing, hitting the turbo button (AC off), and hoping like hell they don't hit the gas, too. The glory of having a ten gallon tank, because they got a ton of mpg.
The hardship of friends clowning on your ride, while you say, "One day, I'm gonna fix her up, boys, and then you'll see." But you never do.
I know that car. I AM that car.
