This heat wave is just too much!! I'm sweating tons too. :o(

[theevilnub]

Hopefully tomorrow we can wave this heat goodbye.

You're originally from Florida, right? How did you handle it down there? I'm dying in this heat.

[theevilnub]

Virtually every place I went to indoors in Florida was air-conditioned. Plus my parents always had cars with air-conditioning. So unless you planned to be outside for very long, you weren't too far from comfort. It was worse in places that see more wintry conditions because it was a toss-up if the place you were going would be comfortable or not &, certainly when I lived in Boston, underground subway platforms were definitely NOT pleasant at all.

When it sucked the most in Florida was during football practice in summer & early fall. Plus the overall dampness in the air you feel & smell when you first arrive after not being there in awhile, or ever.

Yeah. Me stoopid. I decided against getting AC in my car because I thought "Pishaw! It only gets hot in Vancouver for two weeks, the rest is bearable." I guess the whole Northwest isn't really prepared for hot weather like typical hot weather places are.

[theevilnub]

Pishaw. indeed.

Wait...

How old is your vehicle? It's rare these days to have cars come with a/c not standard.

Toyota still has base models without A/C. I'm thinking of buying on of the Kia Souls. They give you so much for so little. Or, when the come into Canada, I at least want to look at the Scion XB.

[theevilnub]

I like the look of the Soul, & the Nissan Cube. I'm not a big fan of the xB... I like the concept of the xB but have never cared for the styling.

[westcbear]

We looked at the Cube too, but that weird wrap around rear window freaks me out a little. :o) The nice thing about the Soul is how much you get for so little. My Matrix was 18,000 when I bought it seven years ago, and it is the base model, no AC, no power anything, and a manual tranny. You can get the Soul for 19,000 with all the fixin's including all the stuff.

[theevilnub]

Another thing about the Cube: the rear door swings out rather than opening upward so if you parallel park a lot it could be impossible getting stuff out of the rear. I don't believe the rear glass opens independently from the entire rear door either.

What colour would you get?

[westcbear]

I'm boring, but I usually go for grey/silver. You don't have to wash it as much. :o)
