I love red cars (and 2 of my cars are red). Red cars seem to look good no matter what.Quote:
And during the summer I will find out how brilliant my decision was to choose for window ventilation and not an a/c. :?
But you're in Jersey and you bought one with no A/C??? I'm starting to sweat just thinking about it. :oops: :(
I'm on Long Island and wouldn't want to be without A/C. :|
In my previous car I kept the A/C off as much as possible for various reasons and I'd end up using it maybe two weeks per year. I'm not saying it would be very nice to have - it definitely is - but I'll see how I get through this summer. Otherwise I will have to consider modding the car. Not a bad thing either. :)Quote:

Hmm. Gonna make it an Aveo convertible? 8) =D> :mrgreen:Quote:

I know. But I've driven more than one summer with almost no airco. I'm not saying it is super comfortable. But it still beats riding a bike to work. And it's one piece less that can break or needs refilling. Worst case scenario I'll fit an a/c in, but there are a couple of other avenues to explore first.Quote:

The alternative is to put plug an inverter into the power port and hook up a table-sized refrigerator that I put in the rear (rear seats down, obviously). Simply remove the door of the refrigerator and tadaa! Instant cooling. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

...because there is no air circulation! I will place a fan in the refrigerator to solve that. :^o
A few packs of dynamat will solve that problem pretty quickly. Or just turn your sound up - you won't hear the road noise. :D Welcome to the forum.Quote:

Heck, if I mount it on the roof I will even save gas.
