WTF does Max A/C do? - Page 6

I thought Max engaged the secret R12 subsystem for that extra bit of cooling that R134a alone just can't give.

Or you could do what everybody else does and roll the windows down until it gets cool?

I'm not sure why you think I'm trying to force you to do what I do (which would be impossible anyway). But if someone says something I don't agree with, I'll speak up, and I'll keep doing it again and again. I don't hold back just to try and stay "buds" with someone.

Wow, you guys put a lot of thought into this whole windows-up windows-down thing.

I wondered the same thing about Max A/C when I was a kid. Our AMC Hornet (yeah, baby) had a label on the knob that said "Max A/C - Desert Only" or somesuch. I spent many a family vacation (of the non-desert variety) wondering from the back seat what would happen if we turned it on.

I was pretty disappointed when I got older and realized it was just a recirc control.

Desert Only? LMAO....

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
