This Mazda was 999 down and 199 a month. So...I sold the Golf, put the 995 down, kept the same payment and bought 3 sets of race tires with the 900.

I sell cars when it's profitable. You just have to know when to sell and be forceful at what cost the cost vehicle needs to be.
OK......just sounds like a lot of money for the priveledge of always having new cars........You spent 200 x 15 = 3,000 plus the 995 out of pocket. Yeah you got 900 profit from selling it, but you still spent over 3,000 for 15 months of driving....

Seems like you could have bought a 2 year old used Golf, which would have only depreciated 1-2K over that same amount of time, if you negotiated right.

Cuz I like telling people what to do

Shoulda kept the Golf anyway.....Mazda 3 seats have no lumbar support last I remember

My point is the label Max AC does nothing IF you have a recirc button.

Would you like a Max Hot label too?
Still wrong. If I have my A/C running in my truck (Nissan), car (Mazda), or SUV (BMW) with Recirculate ON, then switch to MAX, you can HEAR the changes to the air speed. Exactly what that change is, I don't know, but it's clearly doing something more than recirculating.

And the Nissan will modulate the auxiliary cooling fan when normal AC is on, whether or not recirculate is active. It runs 100% of the time MAX AC is selected. Whether it's the same on the others, I don't know, my wife drives them more than me.

So, clearly not all AC systems are created equal. The only thing more clear is this subject has run its course several times over. Should you feel the need to "debate" this further, please PM ParticleMan.

But if the A/C is set at MAX on a treadmill, will it take off?

Of course this is AMC we're talking about. A company that comes up with crap like the Pacer and the Gremlin can't be very smart.
At least it didn't have a douchebag auto transmission in it. Three on the tree, baby.

Appropriately, my dad gave that car away to our garbage man.

A manual tranny on the steering column? Typical American thinking.....Too afraid to put the stick on the floor, for fear of losing that vaunted 6-passenger claim in their advertising.

We had a truck with the manual tranny on the column. It was pretty neat

Three on the tree is a pain in the knee. I remember the saying, just never remember it being a problem.

It's forcing the air out of only the center vents...but you could have just PUT it on the center vents.

Remove your HVAC control head and then turn the thing ON to Max AC. If there is a different signal being sent in Max AC, then I'll agree that there must then be varying high side pressure ranges to run the condensor fan.
