I use AC maybe once or twice/year. Even on hot days driving back from TH I usually rather open the windows. I could very easily live without it.

10 years from now, non-AC cars will get a premium price due to rarity & purity of purpose.

Yep thats your old car, I chased it down for months before it ended up at Barrier. I was told of a red one floating around Seattle, then I heard of one that was at Sunset for about a week (while I was out of town), then sold and back to Seattle. Turns out it was the same car. I have your name in my notes, Alex from Barrier gave it too me. I also have the name of the first owner and have been meaning to contact you both to fill in the blanks. Please email me at Jeffreysmithpdx@comcast.net

Can't imagine driving around here in Taiwan without AC. That's totally hardcore!

that'd be hilarious if someone designed a coolshirt to wear underneath your business wear so you could commute comfortably

Well... I think it was Carrara white... But I don't recall 100%... Might have been silver. It was in prepared class / not in my group - so I did not see enuf of it to recall with certainty.

when i go back, i no longer go outside. it's from one AC compartment, dive to the AC'd taxi, and dive into the next AC compartment. that way i only need to shower 10 times instead of 50x a day.

Funny, the ad does not mention the AC delete, but the ***** give it away. Wonder if the new owner will notice.
