Nothing worse than driving a car in the winter with a plugged up heater coil and no heat at all.
In the summer, just roll down your windows.  |
It's a German car, right? I drove my '97 Jetta GLX in Memphis in the winter of 2006-2007, and there were times when I couldn't push the lock on the trunk to remove my rollaway bag, since my fingers were frozen! The heater core exploded, and I decided to wait to replace it, since they wanted $700. It was bypassed, and my fingers FROZE! During the following summer, my AC compressor lost its front seal, and the AC failed. They want several hundred dollars to fix this. I can drive without AC, even in Memphis heat, simply by driving to the employee parking lot and then putting my uniform shirt on there. I even thought about driving to the employee lot naked, but it wouldn't be necessary and it might arouse the females who check our ID's as we enter the lot.
[trust me, you don't want to "arouse" these females; they are about as wide as they are tall~]
N!
