My A/C doesn't work for ^*%$$. I just bought the stuff to charge it. It's pretty rough not having A/C in Houston.

You get used to sweat stains on your seats from your butt crack? No thanks.

The A/C stopped working in my '98 2 weeks ago. Took it to a nearby shop. I told him I wanted it tested for leaks and refilled. He said the test wasn't really necessary since he saw no signs of leakage. He evacuated/refilled the system (from 7lbs to 22lbs) and charged me 90 bux. 2 weeks later and it's out again! I'm going straight over there tomorrow morning and he better make good on my wasted 90 bux.

About the only thing that works right on the '91 is the A/C. Guess which car I drove to work today???

Thats a lot of refrigerant Most cars take ounces btw, anywhere from 18-64 depending on if they have rear evaporator cores or not.

My 98 has 29k and the ac went out a week ago I keep forgetting that the ac is out. I drive the car to work in the morning with the windows down but lately at about 6pm when I am headed home on the Beltway it has been raining and I have to put the windows up...That's when I miss my AC.

I won't drive without my A/C, even sometimes when my girls wants the window down, since the window motors are so weak, I usually have the t-tops on and the windows up with the a/c on high!!

Gun for Hire , every pound of weight loss and every horse gained is the real goal , if I want to ride in the A/C , I rive the wifes barretta GTZ , or I have a couple of project cars that will have functioning A/C ( 91 Z-28 , and an 87 Trans Am GTA ) I mean you GOTTA have at least ONE car in the family that has A/C , but my 80-Z is my daily driver and if having no A/C means two tenths of a second quicker , that could be the difference in a win or a loss !!!!! ( And personally , I don't like to lose !! )

Never had a/c in my 68, but it isn't my daily driver!

On those 100 degree days, I sure do like the cold a/c in my truck..

honestly, on the highway, it's good, but on normal streets, it's hotter than a rat's a$$ in my car.
