Yoou better get one of those electric cars, no black crud. Drove my car to Spokane yesterday, 200 miles, and drove to Colville today 50 miles. 90 degrees both days my AC worked really good. But today my girl went along, 90 outside the car, too cold inside. I just don't get it. But anyway the ac works. Max
