Default Do you use the AC?

Today was the first 80+ degree day here in SW Michigan this year. I drove quite a bit topless, and didn't have the AC on at all. So far I've never used the thing. I don't even know if it works. What about you? Do you use it?

I use it EVERY time. Whether it's on the lowest setting or the highest, I need to stay cool inside the car.

You're supposed to run the AC for like 10 min a week or somesuch it's in the owners manual. I think it helps keep the seals in the AC system lubricated. I try and remember to run once a week or so, but don't use it that much otherwise.

I only use it when the top is up and it is raining and humid out. Otherwise I enjoy nature's AC!

When it's 90+ with >90% humidity and I'm driving home from work with the top down, I use it.
