I drive mine in the heat no problem. Then again us Canadians are tougher than most!
Just kidding, I have been researching A/C for my car too......
Funny the older I get the less tolerance for the heat and humidity I have?
I agree black vinyl seats are no fun when it's hot. One great thing with non ac e-bodys is the fresh air vents they do work REALLY well as long as you are moving!
I'm looking for an A/C system/kit that will let me keep them.
