Lovers, not lover's. There's your grammar lesson for tonight.

Solutions: get the a/c tested to find out whether or not it's working
properly. If it is working properly, then keep your car parked in a garage.
Even at 112, if it's in a garage (including a public parking garage), the
a/c will be nice and cool because it got a head start. Both my former car, a
97 Civic and my current car, an 04 Accord, behave well under those
conditions.  Parked outside in the ungodly heat, even for 10 minutes,  it
can take quite a while to cool down from an interior of  130-150? degrees
down to the desired 80 or less. And, you have to be moving along, not
idling, to keep the car cool.

Don't tint your windshield; you won't be able to see out at night. Granted,
in the daytime you just about need welder's goggles, but.... at night you're
on equal footing with anywhere else in the world. If you want to tint the
other windows, go ahead. However, none of my 04 windows are tinted, and I
don't notice any "added" heating. Despite the fact that both my previous two
Civics were tinted, they still heated up to ridiculous temperatures while
sitting in the summer sun.  That could be because they were Civics, not
Accords... maybe their a/c systems weren't as good, I don't know.

Hi all you sexy Honda lover's. I have a question about my 1997 Honda Accord.
Now I live in Arizona and it's about 112 degrees here and my A/C seems to
"try" to work but it's not ice cold like it should be? I figured I need Freon?
Any suggestions on if I should buy some and give it to the dealer to put in
or can I put it in? Is there any Freon that is "better" then the others in
other words I want the a/c ICE COLD because it is SO hot here and when the
sun is beaming through the windshield it seems like the a/c isn't working at
all :(  I also see that ALOT of cars have thier windshields totally tinted
and I went to a few places and they said "No,it's illegal to tint the whole
windshield"? Do you guys think thats totally true or do you think if I keep
looking I will find someone to do the WHOLE windshield. All my other windows
are 2% yes VERY(illegally) dark but I just want the windshield tinted maybe
10% just to keep the car a little cooler is this just not going to happen?
Please any suggestions will help :)
Thanx~~~Wendi
