Yes, but how would anyone know that there are chess players inside? And couldn't they just use a folding magnetic chess set in the back seat of an SUV?

The players will not be inside anything. They will be out in the open air. Besides, that way the players (and their seconds) will not only be exposed to wind velocity, but the elements as well, such as blazing sun, sleet, rain, snow, lightning, and hail.
I plan on finding a sponsor and doing our first match cross-country from Provincetown, Massachusetts to Huntingdon Beach, California, then back to Key West, Florida. If any of you readers would like to submit a proposed itinerary feel free to do so.
I wouldn't mind being a part of a class to help people better understand playing chess in abstact whereby a value is placed not on the worth of one piece being more points than another but in it's use at the time while playing, if it can't move it has no value, nor does the space on which it sits; therefore the value should be place mostly in the moving peices and the spaces they can control; that's chess playing in the abstact.
So like I have an idea that will popularize chess all throughout the country.
All we need is a large flatbed truck to start. We weld a chess table to the bed of the truck and engineer some sort of electromagnetical system to keep the pieces on the board while the truck is moving and/or hitting bumps etc. Then fasten two chairs on either side of the table, with heavy-duty seatbelts.
Then two players can comfortably play a game of chess whilst the truck is driving around, even at highway speeds.
Imagine the sensation created as this truck speeds down the highway all around the country with two people playing chess in the back! This would be a great way to expose more people to the wonder of chess, no?
