dd with no a/c right here. i've always prefered windows down. i've been told not to on highways though, apparently it will damage your hearing pretty good for certain pitches of sound. i only deal with like 35-40C max for temps in the summer.

Man, A/C is a must! IMO, if you daily drive your car, it's not a race car. I don't see why the extra 30-40lbs will make that much of a difference.

What about when the windshield gets fogged up when its raining? If it's a "true" daily driver (all seasons, all year round) then AC is a must IMO.

Daily Driven no AC

Yeah it gets hot sometimes but only in the summer here in Seattle. I'm so happy to see those days it's just not right to complain about a little sweat. My solution: windows down, drive fast

werd. 98 was optional equipment. and the original owner opted not to have it. which i think is pretty fuggin cool. what other cars of its time had optional ac and was set up to go run around the track right off the showroom floor. pretty badass IMO. but not quite as badass as the 97's which (correct me if im wrong) didnt have even offer it.

i just got a taste of it yesterday and im not looking forward to summer.

DD, no AC. Summer highs are usually in the 90's with matching humidity. I like the 470 method of air conditioning - four windows down, 70 mph

Actually 240's have a vent right by the driver's feet that blows pretty good when open - makes for a mostly pleasant ride.

Before I got my car when I drove my moms car to work in the summer I'd roll with the air off and the windows up on my way home. Get hot to the point it sucks to breathe then roll the windows down. I told myself I was preparing for no-AC.. Now I tell myself I was a ******* idiot.
