So who likes to use A/C in there car? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

GeforceXtreme · 06-07-2005, 03:58 PM

I know some people that love A/C in there car and can't go a day without it. However its totally different for some. They laugh when people say they use A/C in there car and first thing they do is remove the belt off the compressor. Plus they like to remove all the A/C stuff for less weight.
Me it really doesn't bother me. I like to cruse around with the windows down and the music blasting during the summer. The only time I feel I need it is when I am stuck on the high-way in bumper to bumper traffic. My car turns into an oven then.

LadyTSi · 06-07-2005, 04:35 PM

well with there being no a/c in the rx7 i LOVE having it in the van.... but not too much just cool enough not to look like a sweaty pig!

DoubleOughtCel · 06-07-2005, 04:40 PM

I hate being hot and sweaty, so my windows are up and the a/c is on 90% of the time.

slavetothemuzic · 06-07-2005, 04:47 PM

If it's not unbearably hot, I just go with the top down.

sisforsurfing · 06-07-2005, 04:49 PM

Windows down, definitely, I don't think I've used the a/c once in my car. If i have passengers I might, but usually windows down, a/c off, music up (but not obnoxious... just so it's loud for me, but people around me can't hear it.)

99SL2_Modder · 06-07-2005, 04:57 PM

I have no A/C in my sattilac. My VIN reports it in there, but pop the hood and it's teh missing!!1!11one! I R thinking someone stoleded it. ;)

WrxJC · 06-07-2005, 05:09 PM

I use mine when i'm stuck in traffic or if its humid and raining, otherwise, no ac, it make car go slow :thumbdow:

sfd · 06-07-2005, 05:25 PM

my first car didnt have it.

my second car (first escort) had it for one summer and the car was so ungodly slow i HAD to not use it.

my lx-e has ice cold a/c and drives like a champ with it on.

i use my a/c every day for work. if its a weekend and im just running errands and not going anywhere special ill roll the windows down and just sweat it out to save gas.

once i get a new u/d pulley ill use it a ton.

XxGarbSxX · 06-07-2005, 05:33 PM

The only time I ever use my ac is to get the fog off my windshield when I'm coming home from parties late and the window is all fogged up from the late night/early morning dew and stuff. Even if I'm sitting in traffic, it's windows down. I don't usually listen to the radio ever since Y100 was unjustly taken off the air. It's a good thing I love the way my car sounds. I fooled my former boss and a few neighbors into thinking it was a V6 just by the way the intake/exhaust combo sounds.

tiburonGTgirl · 06-07-2005, 05:38 PM

Yeah I would use my a/c if it worked better..... I just turned it on a few days ago for the first time and for some reason, it doesn't seem to get cold enough. And one side of the vents blow out hotter air than the other and I can't understand it. So I've just been bearing the heat and driving with all the windows down and the sunroof open.

BlackBulletTSi · 06-07-2005, 06:08 PM

When I pimp around town, damn right the windows down, sunroof wide open, and the speakers exploadin,

same here....but i have dark leather interior so i have to sometimes

DoubleOughtCel · 06-07-2005, 06:53 PM

Yea, i have black leather interior, so I got the windows tinted like a week after i got the car haha. It definitely helps keep the heat down when i first open the car up, but I need the A/C

wrx_snobordr · 06-07-2005, 07:03 PM

I dont mid it. I do like how they made it with a clutch so its not constantly draining power. But you can totally feel it when the compresser kicks on, the car feels like it hits a wall. I woudnt mide taking that and the power steering pump out. The engine looks so much sexier wihtout all that clutter and belts

JasterM5 · 06-07-2005, 07:22 PM

I don't have room for an ac compressor and even if I did I prolly wouldn't use it. Although lately I've been wishing it did. Its been really hot out lately.

wow...yeah my car is the same way. The passenger vent is ice cold, but my side is neutral.....its BS.

nickmahhh · 06-07-2005, 08:24 PM

if i didnt have AC in my car, I would die. I sweat too much.

HickRocket1258 · 06-07-2005, 09:02 PM

I like no A/C, theres no point in needing it. Theres a reason we have hot weather. So we can cruise around in out hot cars with the windows down.

MuddyREX · 06-07-2005, 09:09 PM

I'm Italian, so I sweat like a pig. Regardless, A/C only when it's raining or in traffic.

nickmahhh · 06-07-2005, 09:11 PM

concur, unless its 98 degrees and the humidity is so high you feel like your in hell. im not a warm weather guy anyway.
