I roll down the window a little,
or slide open the back window a touch.
But mostly, I don't want any "hot" fresh air,
when the AC is going.
Also, I heavily sound dampened and insulated
the front fire wall.
Much quieter,
And the floor is Cool !!!
Mamma like !  &... when mamma aint happy, aint Nobody happy !!! ;o)
best,
John C...
ps: and, life does seem to be a series of trade offs', doesn't it?..........
