Does anyone ever turn the a/c on with the top down. Especially at a stop light. Of course those that live up North probably dont deal with this as much as the those of us who live down south or out west. I find that it helps a little, at least until I get to moving again.

i do that occasionally.

i usually dont have the top down during the day if its over 80 though.

I have done this when it was very hot.

Of course running A/C with top down is really costing energy.

Nowadays, I just keep the top up. Man I LOVE A/C.

Yeah it's funny when you have a cab and then you keep the top up to be cooler :D

But it's just heavenly when it's gets around 8~9pm. :buttrock

AC on with the top down is nice, especially on the hot days, also it negates global warming. If everyone did it that ice age they called for in the '70 would be here.

As long I'm moving no matter how hot it is I like the top down. It's just when your stuck in traffic and the sun has been beating on your armrest for a few minutes and you go to rest your arm there and tssssss. I swear it could burn the skin right off your arm.

change out your microfilter - the A/C will blow as good as any other car for a week or two. :)
