That's ok. Y'all can keep your winters. I am moving further south the first chance I get. I'll take 100° over cold every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

to the Moultrie/Colquitt County area! Moultrie is very much like Marietta was 50 years ago. Big enough to be a nice sized town but small enough to not have any traffic jams! The only thing is that you will have to learn to "puff" gnats! Besides, we could use another Porsche or two in town!

On the A/C... My car is all black. I've owned it 3 years now and the A/C was not working and leaked refrigerant. It has been tough driving it in the heat. Really limited my enjoyment so I broke down and recently bought the complete Griffith's system. It's about to go in. The spring has been cooler than usual so I haven't been in a rush and I have a couple of other small projects in the queue that need to get done first.

The stock system is pretty weak for this this climate. If you're going to be down here for any length of time, you might want to think hard about your options. A/C is a religious debate around this forum.
Ok, the PO installed what I think is a standard Carrera cooler in mine, albeit without the fan. I'm running a little warmer than I'd like -though not excessively so. I'm hoping an oil change and an Elephant Racing fan kit will help me out, especially in traffic.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did that Griffiths's system run you? I don't think I'll be down here longer than a year, but I'll probably end up somewhere else in the south in the future.

Tirwin - are you doing the Griffith system install or having a shop do it? If a shop, who?
