Your co-workers are either nuts, cheap, or both. First car I had with
AC was a '68 Olds Vista Cruiser I bought about 1972. I'd never consider
a car without it. I don't know of any that don't have it as standard
these days but some entry level one may not.

Rae I put the windows down too. When I was much younger I had a couple
of convertibles, little desire today. Maybe 5 days out of the year ir
would be fun, not today at 95 degrees in the hot sun.
