I deal with it and have for months. Like I said 100-113 everyday when I get in my tahoe. I drive to the gym 5mins away sweat my *** off for 2hrs then head home at about 8pm. Its cool by that time. Plus hell its my beater. I am not about to spend money on a new a/c compressor, replacing the cracked windsheild, new rear bumper, new side mirror. BEATER. 265K Miles and still kicking

It would be unbearable with no AC. Just imagine sitting in I-10 traffic during the hottest parts of the day with the sun bearing down on you.

No thanks!

A/C is mandatory! I wont own a car without it. Even if I had a drag car I would still retain A/C to stay chill before I stage!
