I have ice cold ac in my current car but my previous cars either didn't have working ac or it had it but eventually it stopped working. I use to drive with the windows down and then close up the windows when at a redlight. It sucked so much and I wouldn't be able to do it now.

heat never really bothered me but then again I'm born and raised here, I plan on putting A/C back in my car when I'm done with it but that won't be til... well probably the middle of summer.

We roll down the windows....... But I have ac in all my cars. I roll them down sometimes just to get some fresh air.

I got that 4-40 A/C

4 windows down, 40 miles per hour.


But for real though, it super sucks.
Especially if you have to go anywhere where it isn't exactly acceptable to show up sweating balls.
It sucks having to plan your day out just to avoid any chance of traffic because sitting in traffic without a/c really sucks.
I'd go to work early, bring a change of clothes with me, cause I'd have to change in the bathroom so I wasn't sweating up a button down shirt. Then I'd hang out at least an hour afterwards just so traffic would clear out so I could drive home easier.
Driving around in the evenings and night time aren't bad at all.
Actually rather enjoyable.
Unless of course, you have a girlfriend that doesn't want to look like a hot mess every time you go to dinner.

Haven't used AC in 3 years. Windows down works for me.
