my condensor is broken and I'm too stubborn to fix it so I might as well take it out. Wow and I'm in Kansas too, you know I'll regret that, I'm already dying but I love my windows down

props to the no a/c ballers, i have it removed from my 94 vtec, black leather in the heat = the suck, but it didnt work anyway so I took it out. I need a daily driver with a/c though, it gets pretty sticky in iowa in the summer

IntelliChoice Magazine said it would save you gas to have the A/C ON when you are cruising at HWY speeds instead of your windows being open. Anywhere else, NO!

Yea I heard that too. Mainly becauses of the drag on the car is less with all the windows up and sunroof closed.

Yeah i feel ya on that Texas heat! It is a bish in the summer w/o the a/c. There is now way i could get rid of mine. But it would be nice to get rid of that extra weight and free up all that extra horsepower.
