#1 A/C isn't worth it? No, the 'desert corrosion protection package' and the 'underbody clearcoat protection' aren't worth it.

Is there a different mode of A/C that could be considered?

#5 Those of you old enough to remember the J.C. Whitney catalogs from the 60s will remember the "air conditioners" that were evaporative coolers (like the Swamp Coolers here in Arizona) driven by the breeze as you drove along. Just a water tank, some cardboard baffles, and a long tube. How about adding one of those?

#7 That's the kind of thing I'm talking about.

(And no, there was no collusion between Ms. Seafarious and me.)

#9 Evaporative air conditioners are fairly common here in Western Australia (in houses). As long as the humidity is low, the hotter it gets the better they work and they work really well. So well, that on really hot days friends of ours who have one open all the doors and some windows to stop the house getting to cold. Otherwise, $90,000 for airconditioning?
