The only times I have it up are usually leaving the AutoX venue I go to that’s in the valley of Central Cali. It can be 115+ so after a day in the sun racing/working the course it’s nice to be cool on the way to the hotel/home. > [@looking for LSD for 99 audi](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/looking-for-lsd-for-99-audi/34694/9): > > Here’s my .02, although it does seem like you have your mind made up to ditch it. > > Removed AC from the Talon. Car was fine while cruising, but a bitch in traffic.

In a car that sees less action, it’d probably be easily livable. The car won’t get DDed. I take it to work on nice days, I drive it on the weekends, and I race it. It’ll be _very_ rare that I’d be stuck in traffic in the heat. If I’m going to a racing venue it’s usually at the ass-crack of dawn so it’s cold/cool. If I’m going home from racing it’s late afternoon/evening so it’s cooling off. And I make sure to avoid bad traffic areas during commute times to preserve the clutch. > [@FS: 1972 vw ...kit car](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-1972-vw-kit-car/34559/124): > > a/c is for bitches. rip it out :werd: > [@new plate..yes or no?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-plate-yes-or-no/34798/6): > > keep it… its too nice of a car to be gutting it out. Thanks for the compliment. I wouldn’t call taking the AC out “gutting it” though. I’m not ditching the stereo, any of the interior pieces, or even the extra dyna mat in the “trunk” area… _yet_. > [@On another topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/34801/4): > > Ditch it, you never get ass in your car idling anyway.

It’s not like your spring/summer here 300+ days/year. It’s **_better_**. If it’s 90 degrees here it’s not humid. There it’s 90 degrees and 90+ humidty. 🌑 -TJ --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/to-ditch-ac-or-not/195346)._
