                  I think you're all forgettin one important issue. Our cars are not 100% airtight. As such the helium would migrate too quickly to be advantageous.

                  I've been thinking about this and think I have a sloution. Balloons. Get in the car and get a 'friend' to stuff the interior of the car from floor to ceiling with said tinky-winky effigies. Of course to aid safety I'd recommend fitting a piece of drainpipe between each eye and the windscreen. This would also be of benefit if you were to be unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident. Pre-inflated airbags.....now whos thinking ahead?

                    Better be careful with them drainpipes in the event of an accident. They could have someones eyes out.

                      I have to admit that this is the most stupidest idea I've seen on this forum. These would be best left to the scoobyguys, please.

                      I had to say this. No hard feelings.
