putting a/c in a car that didn't have it originally is not only expensive but will probably 'eff up the engine...I bet you don't get much change from a $1000 to drop a/c in it.
 
 What kind of car is it?

C'mon Samantha, don't be such a pussy. I went years without A/C in my old Lebaron until it died. Even now, I barely run the A/C because I've already lost three alternators in my current car.

Samantha, all you have to do is angle your vents just right, find an empty highway and then open all of the windows and drive fast.   :D   Works like a charm, right Rhett? I too started with a non-a/c car.
 
 Hey, if you remember, it worked for Thirsty and his stench-mobile.

Actually, removing the dead squirrel that was under the passenger side seat got rid of the stench.  But opening the windows on a hot day did help a little.

You can stick one of those battery operated fans on the dash like the rednecks do.

Or, you can just cruise around nude (provided you have cloth seats)

LOL! I never heard about the poor little squirrel.
 
 Thirsty, you know you aren't supposed to let your pets closed up in a hot car like that. Tsk, tsk.

Post by: Venerable Bede on June 26, 2003, 11:34:00 am
yeah, put up without the a/c.  my first car, err truck, didn't have a/c.  it was a ton of fun driving in texas and back to california through the mojave desert in the summer with my window rolled down and groovin' to the music.  if anything, you should spend your money on a new stereo and speakers.

it would be different if I could roll down windows...but only one will roll down.  the other one is broken.  aswell as my car barely goes over 60 so I never get much wind...haha
 it's an 8 year old 2 door hyundai accent with 184k miles.
 
 and you don't realize how wet the little pocket under the boobs gets from sweat...it's like a little ocean!  :D  haha

 If you only get 60 out of it now, wait till you put a/c in it, you'll be lucky to get 40!
 
 Hyundai is Korean for "peice of shit" from what I'm told!

BTW, did you ever let Wing out of his trunk?
Title: Re: car troubles

Did it ever have air?  If not only way is to go junkyarding and find a lot of replacement bits.  They often have a different computer module and other stuff to do aircon.  Better solution is to get the fans that go in the lighter and get at least one other window fixed (are they electric?).

Even cheaper...have the broken window put in the down position so it's open all the time. It's not like anyone is going to want to steal the car.

Not a bad idea...drive it to Baltimore, leave it unlocked with the engine running and then with the insurance money buy a real car.

no it never had air conditioning...the windows are manual...the cigarrette lighter doesn't work

I was in B-more yesterday on St Paul.  Guy had a 70s-80s Datsun pretty much rotted out (bottom of doors and quarters), HE CHECKED THE PASSENGER DOOR TO SEE THAT IT WAS LOCKED!  I was about ready to stop and say, you wish someone would steal it.
 
 If the lighter doesn't work, probably the fuse.  Should be under the dash, labeled in a little plastic box of fuses.  Can get a replacement at any auto supply place for dirt.  If the windows are manual, then you should be able to fudge them down, try pushing on the glass with your palm while trying to get the window down.  Drove in a FIAT in Europe where you could open any of the windows by palming the glass.

they said the window was off the track.  the thing is basically falling apart...even the arm rest broke completely off.  I think it's an analogy to my life.

You should think yourself lucky..when I was your age we couldn't afford a car....we couldn't even afford shoes. I had to walk 50 miles each way in my bare feet to work a 12 hour shift down't pit, then go home and change the chamber pot for my grandad. We couldn't afford food for all of us so I had to pick the bits left in grandma's false teeth.

Title: Re: car troubles

I remember in college a friend had an Audi where all four windows were electric and didn't work and no air conditioning.  We would just open the doors for a quick breeze.  
 
 Off track, yeah that is the bs they give, any window that doesn't work is "off track".  Sort of the lazy definition.
 
 So did you check the fuses?  Getting a window on track is not too hard, keeping it on track can be harder.  There are many good junk yard resources around here (Crazy Rays has a good Hyundai section).
Title: Re: car troubles
Post by: mankie on June 27, 2003, 10:08:00 am
Older Audi's were notorious for failing window motors...my 85 GT Coupe passenger side window didn't work, and my wife's 85 4000 passenger and one of the rear window motors were shot too. Luckily both cars had strong a/c.
 
 I think the deal with the "off the tracks" excuse is that it's a very difficult thing to adjust so lazy mechanics can't be arsed to fool with it. Hey, the bloody thing doesn't work anyway so why not pop the door panel off and fiddle with it yourself...not like you can break it any more than it already is.

Good point.  I had to clean and regrease all the windows on my 67 Lincoln continental.  It has electric windows all around, and they even all work.  That is truly a pimp-o-licious car.
