Hell I live in ohio and wouldn't consider a Daily driven street car unless it has air! Sweating sucks! I can only imagine the horor living further south!

I am driving spoolins truck through phoenix right now and have watched the thermometer go over 100. His truck has no AC, but seeing as it is toting my *** 9 hours back to california, it is very much a street truck. I don't want to hear the 'no AC isn't a street car/truck' bullshit...

It takes almost double that in one of these power robbing 4x4 trucks....

Awesome runs Atomic, keep at it man!


About the A/C conversation, I like to use that as a common rule here in SC. You would be surprised how small the quick "street" car list gets if you have to sit in 30-45 minutes of traffic each way to work when its 100 degree and humidity to match it.

My ac has had no freon for 2 years, but I tote the extra weight just so nobody cries no AC/ not a street vehicle. PLEASE... it is my only transportation. How could it not be a street ride. LOL at some people
