$1,200 to fix his car’s AC!!! Maybe not!!!

[chernmax]

Faced with exorbitant costs to fix a car air conditioner, Scott Dawson was literally left to his own devices.

After finding out he would have to pay $1,200 to fix his car’s AC, Dawson, 26, rigged a common household air conditioner to fit on top of his car. The crafty civil engineering graduate from the University of Houston cut a hole in the sunroof to allow the cool air to get in and used a power inverter to crank up the juice... Overall cost $400

You might be a redneck if...you have a window a/c strapped to the top of your car.

Here you go...

Very ingenious, but I have to wonder how it's going to stand up to going 55+ MPH.

To be honest he could have put it in the trunk and it would have looked nicer, also Loews has a 110 volt window unit that would carry a car for about $100.oo I guess the cost of the inverter was high. It might have been cheaper to get a small generator.
