Only in Ohio...

While I was on break last night, my supervisor was telling us this hilarious story about one of our cashiers. I work at a grocery store, for those who don't know me. Anyway, this particular cashier owns a Chevy Blazer that recently had to have its air conditioning system replaced. He found out that it would cost him $1700 (allegedly) to have it fixed. Rather than doing that, he decided to instead have a window box air conditioner installed. I'm not kidding about this. His dad cut a huge hole in the car to fit the damn thing, wired up two car batteries with some sort of ac/dc power converter, and some bizzare ducting to make the damn thing work.

Just fucking unbelievable. I'm really hoping he's in tonight when I go in. I'm determined to get pics of this just so I can post it here. I'd love to hear what you guys think about this.

I'm absolutely hoping you get pics. This is the sort of thing that would find its way on car and humor-related websites across the web.

Or in a conversion van.

If he installed a bed and a sink it would be understandable.

Sorry to be a little off topic, but you're from Xenia? That's awesome. My parents lived in Huber Heights just after they graduated from the Air Force Academy and after living in New Hampshire and Colorado we moved back to Ohio to live in Beavercreek.

As a refrigeration mechanic, I laugh about the costs of converting the A/C systems of vehicles from R12 to R134a.

Mechanics spew about replacing the compressor and that's what drives the costs up when it's nothing of a sort.

Just change the filter drier, the rubber hoses and the compressor oil to synthetic. Then pump in the R134a.

Done in a matter of hours.

Ohio is the redneck state of the north.

Ha, I got that beat. For a couple of days there was a mini van parked at my work with a window AC unit where the back hatch was AND an 1850 watt portable generator mounted on the roof of the van powering it.

I'd rather live in Ohio than Michigan...

That's all I have to say.

I have seen a few cars with window units gangster-rigged.

Alabama + no vehicle inspections = FTW

You shouldn't be ashamed to be from Mississippi in general.

Brett Favre is from there.

He's one of my favorite players. Also, aren't you only like an hour away from New Orleans (I like the Hornets).

I just think it's cool to live that close to New Orleans. I would love to be able to go to Hornets and Saints games and am always up to go to Bourbon Street.

Jon, you've GOTTA get pics.......

New Orleans is the absolute exception, well, certain parts of New Orleans. In good weather and with ample finances. Caviar?

I think he could've avoided the whole situation because it's going to get cold pretty soon and won't even need an A/C. Then during that 5 months or so he could've saved up for the repair.

But, it doesn't surprise me one bit.

Is it because the state's economy is going to shit?

 

[LoneSage]

that is seriously cool.

 

[rarehero]

personally i would have just poked air holes in the car.

 

[Decepticreep]

I live in Las Vegas where it gets to be a constant 100-115 degrees for like 3 months straight. I used to have a 1973 VW Beetle with no A/C for years, and the heat didn't kill me. Your co-worker is a pussy... and a hick.
