reeeeallly ??? a curved window is a lens and useless????. There's probably only been a very few automobiles models manufactured during your lifetime which *didn't* have curved windshields (The VW Beetle and the Jeep CJ series are the only ones I can think of off the top of my hear) So, chances are good that at some point you have driven a car with a curved window. Did you roll down your window and stick your head out while driving to avoid the lens distortion?
