Some years back on a cold winter morning (-10F) someone I know wanted to 
take his coupe up to the Mt. Crested Butte ski area.  (This is something 
I would never do.)  By the time they flow around the ski area about 20 
miles south of Aspen, they decided to go east over the divide.  In this 
region of the divide, the mountains are over 12,000 ft.  Once they 
crossed the divide and went south following it for 40 miles are so, they 
had their coupe up to 14,500.  Even at this altitude you are not in IFR 
air space because you are still too close to the ground.  They told me 
they could have gone higher, but their voice sound like a six-year old 
girl's and they thought it was better to go lower and get out of the 
thin air.

I don't know why anybody would want to go that high in a coupe.   It is 
like flying a coupe into a thunderstorm, you can do it--but why.
