    So long as the vents have analog dials that manipulate how much air is coming out. Otherwise I’d have to be pro left/right temperature difference. When it’s 100 degrees out side and someone says the AC is to cold it blows my mind

      Lol, yes, automatic vents are only beginning to get good (and are far from prefect).

      For me it’s def not something you set only once. Witch is a fail by default.

          He should have said so! He may as well measure distance in bananas or area in stadiums 😂

            Celsius is near useless as well, you can’t use it for anything without converting it to kelvins first. Both F and C are “because we use it and it’s familiar”. 100 degrees we should have said your blood is already frozen! Turn the heat on

              Celsius is near useless

              Found a USian 🤦

              “In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.”

      There is such a thing as the AC being to cold. When I turn it all the way down in my car it’s like being inside a freezer. It legitimately starts to hurt where it blows on your skin after a while. Same with the heat though, it gets so hot that you burn yourself if you touch the vents.

        I miss my old car where the engine was so small it got up to temp in minutes even in -30 and the airflow was so direct it felt like it was burning your hands if you aimed it right at the steering wheel

          Yeah, I’ve got a 2.3L engine and the heater gets warm by the time I leave the driveway. Strangely enough the 1.2L engine in my moms car takes forever.

            huh. the 1.4L in my old car is what I was referring to

            my current 2.5L takes forever in comparison, so did my last 2.0L (Mazda3)

        You know you can adjustt the temperature AND air flow, right? You can blast the air to accelerate to the desired temperature and then dial back on the air flow and temperature to keep the car actually pleasent. I only say this because i have a friend who cranks the heat full blast in the winter and then rolls down his windows while still max blasting the heating! Dude has serious brain worms.

          you don’t do that?

          having the window down in the winter for the fresh cool air over your face and chest while blowing heat on your feet and hands feels great

            I live in Northern Ohio 40 minutes from Lake Erie. We have COLD winters here with wet air. Plus, my shitty soft top VW Bug with a busted window lets in more than enough cold air

          I know someone who does this as well, mostly because he always drives with his arm hanging out the window lmfao
