Just depends how hot is and how quick you want to cool off.

I'm not telling you that you have to do it or else I won't be your friend anymore. lol. I'm just saying it's like going from an mdf box to a foxbox, once you do it, you get it.

And I don't always like to have my windows down if there's some noisy truck next to me (gasp!). Or worse, a bus.

Never tried it, but on paper, it stands to reason that it should work to steal a few lower degrees.

Personally, when it's 72* outside, my windows are open.

If Hammer doesn't do it, we're no longer friends.
