No air conditioning in my car

I live in an area with a very hot climate.

10 months out of the year, the use of an air conditioning system is required.

At one time, my car didn’t have air conditioning and it was the biggest month of the year. To make things worse, I had leather upholstered seats which wasn’t a good combination with sizzling heat. I had to throw a couple towels over my seats and try to park in the shade as much as possible to prevent higher temperatures inside the vehicle. If I was really hot and uncomfortable, I had a flexible flat ice pack that I would place under the towel to keep me cool at times. I was working a full time job and surviving paycheck to paycheck and couldn’t afford to get my ac fixed so I had to get creative when it came to staying cool. Only two of my windows rolled down too. Luck wasn’t on my side for sure. I tried to always keep the other two windows rolled down to circulate the warm air. That helped a little. But a fan doesn’t create cool air like an air conditioner does. It only circulates it. Adding to air circulation, I also added a portable can that attached to the inside of my car and it helped a tad bit. I tried to avoid streets with a lot of stop lights because I knew the longer my car stayed still, the longer I’d go without a breeze and start sweating. This went on for the whole summer And finally I had saved up enough money to get my air conditioning fixed in my car. Thankfully, I did not have to drive drenched in sweat anymore and could enjoy my driving experience for once.
