Do you often wonder how people can stand to drive around in an un-airconditioned vehicle in the heat of the Texas summer? Well, I am a living testimony that it can be done. The results are not pretty, but it can be done. It makes me feel like such a Renaissance woman (a sweaty one, nonetheless).
 
No a/c in my jeep has caused me to detest talking on my cell phone while driving. I used to make calls when in the car, because it was something to occupy my time while driving and a time to catch up with friends and family. Now, if I attempt to make a call or answer a call, I can't hear anything or the caller can't hear me, because of the noise from my windows being down. The alternative is to roll the windows up, but then that leaves me locked up in an 100+ degree environment on wheels. Sweat rolling from my forehead making it almost impossible to keep the receiver close by, and then what words I do get out are distorted by my extremely bad mood from being so hot.
 
Having no a/c has been handy for never being selected to be the driver for activities. For work lunches, no one has ever said, "Hey, let's take Beth's car w/ out a/c!" It's a bit of a deterant.
 
Top 10 Benefits of no A/C in my car:
1. Use less cell minutes
2. Practice safer driving w/out using mobile
3. Never selected to be group driver
4. Avoid long trips
5. Lose water weight
6. Always have sexy, wind-blown look
7. Everyone else get to hear my great taste in music
8. Can sympathize with other window-down drivers
9. Easier unrestricted access for beggers on feeders lanes
10. Makes me look cool because I'm tough enough to be hot
