For a while, I was smoking my pipe on my hour-long commute home each day, but I quickly learned that pipe smoke really lays a thick film of tar all over the inside of a vehicle, no matter how much I vent it with my windows. It just wasn't practical.

But I do occasionally find the time to sit on my front porch of an evening with an adult beverage to smoke my pipe and watch the sunset and the critters that come out at dusk.
I once smoked in mostly-closed-compartment vehicle, and had much the same experience as you. The Missus lets me smoke in her convertible with the top down, provided I give it a good airing-out during and after. A good toddle down back roads with a wind cap sets me up nicely.

Let me know when Texas cools down enough to make kilted porch-sitting a tolerable activity. I used to spend my off-duty time working in a tobacco shop, and have some goodies squirreled away.
