Just A Troll Just A Troll Curved Street Thug Life Post Master Registered: 09/24/09 Posts: 2221	I went to lunch with a co-worker in his vette convertible on Wednesday. It was nothing but hot air coming at us. Even driving fast, the airflow wasn't cooling at all. I wanted to tell him to just put the top back up and turn on the A/C. So glad when I got back into my RDX at the end of the day. Auto climate control rocks! I just wish I had the Tesla Model X's "bio defense" mode air filters to get rid of the occasional dead skunk smell in some areas. Not sure how bikers put up with this heat during daytime. Even at full speed it's just a wall of heat slamming in your face. _________________________ I don't need to use this space to show off my car or my camera gear.

Actually it's quite pleasant on some occasions. Warm breeze coming from outside, max cool air inside, 15% of thunderstorms in the GTA came from his truck. _________________________

Before parking your car, turn the AC off, run the fan for 30 second ish. Never get that mold smell. My car is 18 years old, always done that, never smelled. I usually shut the AC off few hundreds meter from the destination, or blast the fan for few seconds before getting out. _________________________
