Born and Raised in North Texas, I've seen it 117 and 12 degrees...The 1st car I owned that had air conditioning was in 1993. Up till then i was driving a 1969 chevy pickup with that famous 2/55 A/C...both windows open at 55 MPH. The heater and defrost was fair; I had to wear 2 pairs of socks plus kept a pair in the seat to wipe down the window. A few heavy feed sacks under the floorboard kept some of the cold air at bay.

We've been driving the 30 Fordor every weekend and several week days since getting it earlier this year. When people ask about the MPG I tell them it gets "Smiles Per Gallon", and I think that applies here as well.

Do you think the guys(girls) on the golf course are considering putting A/C in their Carts?? How about the folks fishing on the lake? A/C in their Bass Boat?

This is Texas, Deal with it. "If you dont like the weather in Texas, just give it a minute...it'll change"
