it would be different if I could roll down windows…but only one will roll down. the other one is broken. aswell as my car barely goes over 60 so I never get much wind…haha
it's an 8 year old 2 door hyundai accent with 184k miles.
and you don't realize how wet the little pocket under the boobs gets from sweat…it's like a little ocean! :D haha
car troubles
BTW, did you ever let Wing out of his trunk?
Did it ever have air? If not only way is to go junkyarding and find a lot of replacement bits. They often have a different computer module and other stuff to do aircon. Better solution is to get the fans that go in the lighter and get at least one other window fixed (are they electric?).
Originally posted by Sir HC:Even cheaper…have the broken window put in the down position so it's open all the time. It's not like anyone is going to want to steal the car.

Not a bad idea…drive it to Baltimore, leave it unlocked with the engine running and then with the insurance money buy a real car.

no it never had air conditioning…the windows are manual…the cigarrette lighter doesn't work

I was in B-more yesterday on St Paul. Guy had a 70s-80s Datsun pretty much rotted out (bottom of doors and quarters), HE CHECKED THE PASSENGER DOOR TO SEE THAT IT WAS LOCKED! I was about ready to stop and say, you wish someone would steal it.
If the lighter doesn't work, probably the fuse. Should be under the dash, labeled in a little plastic box of fuses. Can get a replacement at any auto supply place for dirt. If the windows are manual, then you should be able to fudge them down, try pushing on the glass with your palm while trying to get the window down. Drove in a FIAT in Europe where you could open any of the windows by palming the glass.

they said the window was off the track. the thing is basically falling apart…even the arm rest broke completely off. I think it's an analogy to my life.

I had to walk 50 miles each way in my bare feet to work a 12 hour shift down't pit, then go home and change the chamber pot for my grandad. We couldn't afford food for all of us so I had to pick the bits left in grandma's false teeth.

Samantha, all you have to do is angle your vents just right, find an empty highway and then open all of the windows and drive fast. :D Works like a charm, right Rhett? I too started with a non-a/c car.
Hey, if you remember, it worked for Thirsty and his stench-mobile.
I remember in college a friend had an Audi where all four windows were electric and didn't work and no air conditioning. We would just open the doors for a quick breeze.
Off track, yeah that is the bs they give, any window that doesn't work is "off track". Sort of the lazy definition.
So did you check the fuses? Getting a window on track is not too hard, keeping it on track can be harder. There are many good junk yard resources around here (Crazy Rays has a good Hyundai section).

Older Audi's were notorious for failing window motors…my 85 GT Coupe passenger side window didn't work, and my wife's 85 4000 passenger and one of the rear window motors were shot too. Luckily both cars had strong a/c.
I think the deal with the "off the tracks" excuse is that it's a very difficult thing to adjust so lazy mechanics can't be arsed to fool with it. Hey, the bloody thing doesn't work anyway so why not pop the door panel off and fiddle with it yourself…not like you can break it any more than it already is.

Good point. I had to clean and regrease all the windows on my 67 Lincoln continental. It has electric windows all around, and they even all work. That is truly a pimp-o-licious car.
