How to cool the car off with out running it
This weekend is going to be something like 104°F.
My wife wants a car port. We don't have one yet plus 104 is still pretty warm.
So I went to lows and found an 8,000btu/hr frigid air brand air conditioner that said "dent" on the front. Price was $240. Yes It had a dent.
I figured I would try to see how far I could talk them down.
I got it for $140, I didn't even plan on buying an air conditioner when I went there today.
I am going to replace my 3 or 4 year old 5,000btu A/C for the guest room, sell it for $75.
Until my mom visits I'm going to use it in the car.
So I folded down the back seat put the air conditioner in the trunk so the front was blowing into the back seat area and packed a towel around the edges and plugged it in. Leave the trunk open for heat rejection.
I will add pictures soon.
