Windows down or AC while driving in the summertime?

[dustybiker2]

AC

Feel the breeze

[TommyMountainFigure]

Hot days in traffic yes I use the a/c. Not so much on open roads. I prefer to have a window open! I like the breeze in my face.

[dustybiker2]

Pfft. Look at you talking about AC.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Whaaaa lol. We get the occasional hot day here too :P Remember?

[dustybiker2]

You better run that thing now and then or it will seize up.

[TommyMountainFigure]

I have it checked on every service, not that it ever needs refilling, just replacing filters etc..

[dustybiker2]

They unplugged mine once during a quick oil change.. naturally it wouldn't work and they were telling me how much it would cost to fix it. I popped the hood and saw the dangling plug. I dramatically plugged it back in and silently left. How many people do they screw over with that? Well not me.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Thank you for MHO Db.. Oh and Well they only did that with you because bikes aren't supposed to have A/C :P

[Twalli]

Depends. We get high humidity and I don't like feeling wet in car.

[adventurous-1]

because my AC broke and I can't afford to fix it. I bought one of those car warranty's you see on TV but they refused the repair and my mechanic said they refuse all the time, he's tried to deal with them on different breakdowns from other warranty holders without success. Now there's a racket!

[spartan55]

Shit, that's the whole point of a warranty. Racket is right.

[strateguy632]

you have a contract, explain by phone you have a contract so they must fix.

[dustybiker2]

What type of warranty is it? There are some good steps to take against them described in here:

[adventurous-1]

@strateguy632 I tried but they explained how there was rust on my truck so they didn't have to honor the warranty what ever the problem.

[adventurous-1]

Thanks for the info!

[dustybiker2]

You're welcome. Hope it's helpful.

Windows down for me 90% of the time. I'll only use AC on extremely hot and humid days where there's tons of traffic.

[dustybiker2]

I took recycling in one of my bikes today and this big man was asking how I could stand it in the heat. You acclimate though.

[HawkPerception]

Yeah I bike everywhere too. Literally my main means of commute. People these days are bewildered by people that are decently fit 😂

[dustybiker2]

Its true.

[AviatorTom]

Windows closed and AC on is actually more energy efficient because of less drag on the car.

[dustybiker2]

Smart man. Something about hot summer evenings and wind blowing your hair around though.

[spartan55]

Where I live you'd have to be out of your mind driving with your windows down this time of year.

[dustybiker2]

Let me guess. Death valley? Wait. Spartans are from Greece?

[dustybiker2]

You don't have to answer that. Just being sociable.

[spartan55]

North Texas.

[dustybiker2]

Ah yes. You get four seasons, no?

[spartan55]

Eh... we get about two weeks of autumn. Spring is a bit longer.

[Wiredone]

Ac on with the windows open just enough to bring it fresh air. I can not drive with the windows fully closed, even in the winter

[dustybiker2]

I often do the same.

[Redstang88]

Generally prefer windows down when it’s nice, but SC definitely is nice for longer drives or slow traffic. Unfortunately neither of my vehicles have working ac so I don’t get a choice

[backdoorman]

It depends on the outside air temp. I prefer the windows down, if possible, but if the air outside is too hot, no degree of air movement will be enough.

[RedInnocent69]

It depends what you’re driving, and how good your AC is.

[dustybiker2]

Hills factor too. Boy they suck fuel with the ac, best to click it off around here till getting to the top to save engine strain.

[Fireguy17]

Both.
On the freeway usually it's the air to cut down on the noise.
Around town windows open.

[worldscolide]

It depends entirely on how hot it is. If it's over 100 ac all the way if it's anything below the 90's definitely windows down.

[KrakenAttackin]

I drive all day for work and I always have a window down and music up. I have an ear piece so I can hear my VHF radio.

[standardguy]

Depends on the temperature outside. If window down is enough for cool air within the car then window down.

[mrkdvsn]

Always AC while on the freeway. Otherwise, either one or the other

[sirderpsalot123]

Windows down. AC doesn't work lol

[dustybiker2]

Awe 😩

[TommyMountainFigure]

^^^ I was gonna say aww too lol

[dustybiker2]

You're back! 😎

[TommyMountainFigure]

I am? Damn it I'm always the last to know these things.

[dustybiker2]

"I always knew where I was."

[TommyMountainFigure]

"I just never know where I am"?

[dustybiker2]

"What was I saying?"

[TommyMountainFigure]

It's not 5am yet here and you're asking me? I never know where I am at the best of times!

[dustybiker2]

Hobbling around in the dark. Get back to bed.

[TommyMountainFigure]

"Hobbling around in the dark" Ahh yes, the old Bruce Springsteen Classic!!!

[dustybiker2]

@TommyMountainFigure I nailed this today too... 😏 Some might call it psychic. (Not gloating at all)

[TommyMountainFigure]

You gloat? Perish the thought :P

[dustybiker2]

@TommyMountainFigure Nope. @sirderpsalot123 Would back me on that. I'm sure.

[sirderpsalot123]

@TommyMountainFigure she's 100% psychic. It's creepy

[dustybiker2]

•stirs tea•

[TommyMountainFigure]

@sirderpsalot123. I believe you.. Throws a plastic spider in the teacup! . Shhhhh :P

[sirderpsalot123]

@TommyMountainFigure I didn't see anything 🤐

[TommyMountainFigure]

@sirderpsalot123 :D

[dustybiker2]

I'll take both youall's crutches away for an hour if you keep playing silly buggers. Restless boys. smh

[sirderpsalot123]

I'm gaming and have a Gatorade bottle that I could use as my piss bottle. I'm fine here for an hour

[TommyMountainFigure]

Crutches? Bah, who needs crutches when we can use the floor to break our fall?

[sirderpsalot123]

@TommyMountainFigure that's what floors are for

[sirderpsalot123]

She would never forgive herself if we fell lol

[dustybiker2]

That explains a lot 😏

[TommyMountainFigure]

@DERPY Indeed!! Good use of the Gatorade bottle by the way.. (had to look up exactly what Gatorade was)

[sirderpsalot123]

What does? Lol

[dustybiker2]

@sirderpsalot123 you're gonna forget and take a big swig

[TommyMountainFigure]

Oh damn... (sorry to @DERPY that was meant for @sirderpsalot123) DOHHHHH!!

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker2 wouldn't be the first time

[dustybiker2]

🤣🤣

[sirderpsalot123]

@TommyMountainFigure you never had Gatorade? Lol

[dustybiker2]

Food in England tends to be nutritional Derp

[sirderpsalot123]

Lol @DERPY is a real account. I'm sure she will love being a part of this conversation hahaha

[sirderpsalot123]

OHHHH yeah lol 👍

[dustybiker2]

Ask her to empty your bottle. Judge her character right off.

[sirderpsalot123]

@dustybiker2 😂😂

[Alli112]

Depends on the temp 😭

[Tstrbrainer]

That'd depend on what you are wearing lol

[dustybiker2]

You put on long johns for the ac?

[dustybiker2]

That was dry humor. I should have smirked lol

[RHK36]
