A/c Does't Belong In Cars

[Kougar]

That's right folks. I've come to concrete-ti-fye....yeah....my theory that AC in cars is dumb. For example...
- It robs you of power when turned on.
- It can cause undue belt squeaking.
- It adds quite a bit of weight.
- It's fugly.
- It drips water everywhere...which in turn
- Drops super-heated water that falls onto the exhaust onto you skin, which then falls on your face and burns you very badly.
- Hell it doesn't even work half the time.
- Sometimes it smells!
- Khad is a dush.

...that's all, for now!

Hey

What the hell?

[Kougar]

Yeah, you're right...that was uncalled for.

For once I agree with most everything you said. You did leave out the fact that AC is for pussies and girly men. Also it would be nice to post the appropriate solution to the heat without AC which of course is both windows down WOT

[Kougar]

Hell yeah! How could i forget that AC is for pussies? Jeeze...and yeah 60-2 is the best heat control (60 mph - 2 windows down)

I got bored waiting for that spacer so ended up tearing out most of mine. Oh well, It never worked when i had the car anyways.

Luckily mine didn't even come with it...just some of the piping left over. Idiots.

That is the truth! I have no a/c in any of my dsms. The only time I have had a problem is a warm summer night when it is raining. Solution is, crack the sunroof, crack the throttle, get a little wet, enjo it all the same. :dsmrule:

WTF!? This is nonsense. Unless you're talking about race-only cars, AC is a must. And as for the arguments "it only works half the time", "it leaks", and "it smells", I'd recommend you all buy cars that are engineered better and don't have components that are made from play-doh. I'd humbly recommemd an Ultimate Driving Machine... you know what I'm talking about.

Ahhh come on, that's too easy for me to make a yo-mama joke about.

I like AC but not in a DSM because it robs soo much power and can cause overheating and such.... Mine has not worked for over a year and needs to be retrofit to R134... Dont really want to do it just because I dont feel like it becuase I would only use it maybe like 20 days out of the whole year which doesnt make sense to me. So Im thinking its going bye bye soon.

I have no ac either, no radio too. Kinda thinking about re-installing radio again

Yeah, I guess when you have a car that's as slow as a 325i, you need AC because you can't get it going fast enough to create any wind past the windows!!! :stick:

[Raptor]

I stand by my original comments. If I wanted a car to DD and be all confy I would probably get something more suited to that purpose. The only reason I have a DSM is because of it's potential to kick the ever living shit out of anything it is sitting next to (depending on who builds it of course) and in that scenario, who needs anything that isn't directly related to that goal, AC, PS, passenger seat radio or otherwise! Let the trash talk begin :bounce:

[ACRucrazy]

My DD??? Sure why not, but doesnt have to have it. My first car that had it AND WORKED (my 6th car) I ripped it out!
Hell, the GF flew to NJ today and picked up a 2001 ACR that came without AC from the factory!
W00t!

I just need to tempt my self to pull it from the SRT... not that I use it (never have) just once I do that, I better keep the damn car!

Oh HELL NO. :censored:

Listen here punk. I don't need to worry about my AC stealing power because I don't have an engine with small hamsters shoved into the cylinders powering my car. And that's right, I stand by my comment that your engine is pretty much entirely made out of play-doh. I spit in your general direction!

[Khadgar]

I remember last summer I said I was going to get it fixed the first day of spring...I wonder if I'll be saying the same thing when its back up and running.

[unreal808]

I use my A/C alot, both of my DSMs have working A/C, If I race with The A/C on I can hardly tell the A/C is taking power away(I know it is), And my A/C has worked ever since I have had the car.
I like fast cars but I still have to have some comfort, If you dont care about comfort than remove your heater core, soft seats, power windows, power brakes......... ah fuck it ,remove the windshield buy some goggles. But I have to have A/C besides, have you ever tryed putting a eight month old baby in a hot car and drive around !



But hey thats my life, to each his own right!?

I think I got under his skin with that one. I always have fun with 325i's on the freeway. Especially the one that had the license "HER325I". A guy was driving (I'm assuming boyfriend or husband) with what I assume was the owner (woman) sitting in the passenger seat. I think the conversation went something like this "Hey honey, wanna see what your car can really do?" "Sure." "Ok, hold on while I show this punk in this rice car a thing or two about Ultimate Driving Machines." (Downshifts) "Ha. Look I'm pulling away from him." (Meanwhile in my car, downshift and 3/4 throttle) "Hey, how did he get in front of me?!? I must have missed shifted or something. (Meanwhile I'm slowing down to let him catch up) Let me try this again." (Goes for third, I stay in fourth) "How the hell is he still beating me!!???!!!!????"
