I have  off and on been contemplating the time when I am probably going to 
be driving  my square back to north east Texas from here in Colorado, most 
likely in the  summer. Now I realize I have been softened up from living here 
in Colorado but  my question to y'all is how do you deal with the heat 
during them long trips  in the summer? It's not like there is the luxury of the 
newer cars with the AC  and low noise etc.

I am just putting this out there because its been a  curiosity more lately 
thinking of all you out there making the log trip to the  Type 3 Invasion 
here in Colorado.
I am sure, as I am, not all of you are  the spring chickens we used to be. 
;-) . So what's your secrets for those who  are driving your cars?




Well, I've got about 10 years on you, and most of the vehicles I own don't  
have AC (remember, I live in Michigan). But what I've found the most useful 
is  having the wing windows open, having the pop outs open, and having the 
side  window open. I basically try to flow as much air as possible in the 
car, dress  in loose fitting clothing, and try to not sit for long periods of 
time in 1 spot  (caught in traffic). Otherwise, I just deal with it, and 
think about the up  coming cold arse winter to come (or the one that just moved 
on thru), and  remember that I waited all winter for summer to arrive. ;-)
