I'm not big on A/C either. Unless it's ungodly hot and humid out, I prefer windows down and sunroof open. Conditioned air is too dry.

I feel unconditioned air is too wet... I live in a humid area.. Throughout July and August, its hard to not run A/C here. It's so bloody humid its disgusting.

Yeah, I can't run with the windows down without sweating immediately from May-Oct. As much as I love the wind and the car's various noises, it's too fking hot and humid.

Umm it's SoCal, we're not used to having weather that can't be driven with the windows down. Plus I bet most of those people in those cars either don't have a/c at all or it's not working. People here are too cheap to fix their cars cus they spend all their money on wheels/flashy paintjobs.

I lean to my right with one hand on the wheel, it's just more comfortable. Often shuffle back and forth to both sides after a while of continuous driving. My back starts to hurt after a little while sitting straight up. Usually drive at least 4 hours minimum a day during the week. With two hands on the wheel, I feel like I'm in driving school too.

AC is a must though, in my company truck I'll have it blowing even when it's 70 outside. In my personal cars, I prefer to have the windows down, but the instant it's hot enough to start sweating, windows go up and ac on.
