No Air Conditioning
Ok I've never had air in my FC but dang...it's that time of the year where I nearly melt on my way to work and back. Anyone know a good cheap way of getting some kind of cooling system or anything?

Race car style: Get a piece of 3 inch hose, cut a hole in the window, and run the hose from the hole to your face. Or just drive fast with the windows down. I live in Texas w/ no A/C. It makes me feel like a bad ***.

no A/C here
I took all the A/C components out of my car, then I bought a cheap everyday driver that only had A/C. LOL When it is hot, I drive the little car, when it is bearable, I drive the 7.

The one SCC used attached to the outside of the car on the passenger's side window, and used the air from the car's motion to push the cooler air inside the car. I think I like the ones I linked better, since you can use them in the city and they don't make your car look strange.

You can put factory A/C in your car for $300.00. Mazdasurplus sells the entire system (brand new, factory components) for $250.00 plus you have to pay their $50.00 processing fee.
