Yaris Accident: How Much To Fix?

[bronsin]

The AC makes the building I work in so cold that even when its 100 degrees when I leave work in the afternoon I dont use the AC in the Yaris.

On weekends at home its another story. Although for the sake of economy I use it sparingly.

I haven't looked up the stats to be certain, but going by feeling/experience (time spent at the hottest points of a summer in NJ, PA, and TX) the lower heat index in your area would still be within the realm of the bearable during the Summer (but just barely). Here...people do it, but I wouldn't. In August 2011 on the hottest day of the month the measuring pod in our subdivision (then posted to NWS) was 105 F and the heat index was 120 F. A few miles away (where the humidity level was a fair amount higher) another NWS measuring pod (for lack of a better term) measured that location at 107.9 F and the heat index was in the HIGH 140s (either 147 or 149...I posted it to a thread earlier this year).

I can see not turning the A/C on on the way home from work, especially if you don't have to sit it traffic for a long time on 80, 78, 287, the Turnpike, or the GSP.

It's amazing how cold A/C can make some offices, shops, restaurants, etc. Here in SE Texas I notice this re Starbucks, so I keep a rain poncho in my Yaris to put on if I get too cold in a Starbucks (and to keep me dry when a 'not in the forecast' bout of rain comes along....happens more often than in California).
