My point exactly, i very rarely ever use it, i ride with the windows down and sunroof open mostly, and i try not to take it on any road trips longer than 3 hours. My biggest concern is that once i take it out, i will really miss it if i ever need it. And if i do take it out, will it fuck anything up if my g/f accidently turns it on or something, or will it blow, just not very cold?
