Hi NS! "Phew whatta scorcher" eli "Kerpele, se on vittun kuuma"

Now I'm glad I added air-conditioning to my car lease spec. I know I'm naughty, but on the other hand I'm driving about 5/8ths less kilometerage than a year ago - so I feel I have done my bit. I have also not been in a plane for several months.

Re: Hot Summer (none / 1)

Morjens! My car's a/c consists primarily of rolling down the window (the car was manufactured at some point before the fall of the Berlin wall). Fortunately I don't need to drive a whole lot. Except for this past week, when I moved apartments; I've been driving back and forth so much I feel like I should be standing trial at the Hague.

And so you will, and so you will ;-) Autocide is a crime against insanity.

Very well, I shall turn myself in! Better get going right away, now where did I put the car keys...?

That's almost as bad as the Olympic Logo.

Re: Hot Summer (none / 1)

there are arguments that if you have a modern car, then turning on the air conditioning is about 1% more energy eficient than opening the windows and disrupting the airflow over the outside of the car

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
