The most efficient and convenient way is to buy a car with A/C. IMHO it's worth every cent.
AC don't work when the engine is off. I run into the opposite problem in the winter. So I change what I wear.

If efficiency is a concern though the comparison between running the AC vs making and storing ice should be made.

I like the idea of multiple paths of tubing. If only one tube is used it will be cooler at the start of it's run than at the end. Multiple paths means more even distribution of cool.
