I know what you mean, but I think this thread started life as someone
looking for a way to cool down on those occasions when it gets a little
too hot. Sitting in my 427ci Camaro, on line waiting to get into
Raceway Park in Englishtown NJ on July 4th, 101 degrees, 94% humidity
was not a common occurence, (actually, just once a year <g) but it did
happen, and turning on the blower for the heater was a quick way to drop
the temperature a little bit. Trust me, it didn't get any hotter inside
the car than it already was :-)

Never a problem hardly any other time...... Just nice to know it can
work if you really need it, and it does work.
