AC in your car

[hemi]

When the man at the auto repair shop told me that it would

cost $1400 to fix my car's air conditioning,

I just laughed at him and said, "I can

fix it myself for a whole lot less than that!"

MY MOMMA DIDN'T RAISE NO FOOL !!!!!!!

This is just too funny! :rofl: :lfao:

 

[Xue Sheng]

Very funny :lol:

And yet very sad, it brings back way to many memories from when I use to be an auto mechanic. :erg:

 

[Cruentus]

Whats funny is that my truck has no AC, so I have a portable unit hooked up out the back window.

I use an RV battery instead of the standard battery with an inverter, though...

 

[Cruentus]

And no, I am not kidding about my truck.

However, I should mention that the AC unit isn't sticking out the window, and it is actually for my SAR dog when he travels with me; he's in my truck bed usually, which has a cap, and he is in his crate with the AC.

I should also mention that the truck isn't my only vehicle.

So....I am only somewhat white trash... :lol:

 

[Andy Moynihan]

Yes, my truck has AC and I like it very much.

I am not worthy of redneck status yet.... otherwise I would tell you that the AC unit in the truck bed was for my wife so I could keep my dog cage in the front... :uhyeah:

Also... to fully achieve redneck status, I would have to say that the truck isn't my only vehicle because I have 5 broken down vehicles in my front yard... :lol:

I can go on with this all day...

I think the Generator and AC unit might be worth more than the car.

When all they had to do was spend the $20 and go out and get the Car vents that are solar powered.

What does a redneck and hillbilly have in common?

So...do those things actually work? Maybe I can get them if they do and save the AC unit for special occasions only (you know, the kind that requires me to put pants on).

I travel exclusively by motorcycle.. In this 115 degree weather I really wish AC was possible. That and I'd love a moonroof.

I have no idea if they work or not.

But I have my doubts if you only place one in and the car sits in the sun so that it goes from one side to antoher. Also I think the striping they provide from the pictures would not be "safe" and would offer an "window" for entry into the vehicle.

But once again not having seen one only seen them on TV and knowing some stuff about cars, I put two and two together to get three.

I think you made 4, Rich

A website for one of these fans says it will "reduce the temperature of your car, but not cool it.

It will take out some of the stuffy air, but it can't counteract the heatload on the inside of the car. Techincally, if the interior temp of car can be dropped from 130F to 125F, that's reducing the temperature. Unfortunately, an interior temp of 125F is still pretty dang hot.
