I have a/c and heat in my car and they both work but I rarely use it . windows down and sunroof will do it for me, sometimes it gets too hot and I use it and having tinted windows help .

lmfaooooo


But yea... i didnt have a/c for a while in a couple diff cars. Guess loving the cars youre driving made it worth it. But then again ive never been a big fan of rush hour traffic id rather wait at work for an hour or two and not deal with it. My biggest issue was my girls complaining i could take the heat... i couldnt take the whining.

Verts are worse than coupes when it comes to driving without A/C. A coupe provides protection from the sun. In a vert you bake. I always run the A/C, it makes a big difference even with the top off.

Our CRX doesnt have AC. It will be in this summer though. Had to buy an aftermarket AC bracket, but im sure it will be worth it.
