96 today PLUS 65-80% humidity and cement everywhere!!! = one sweaty Cookie Monster busting ass on the typical overheating European cars getting towed in all day.

I’m fully stocked on head gaskets (and all parts associated with the job), radiators, condensers, compressors, fans, batteries, coolant, etc to combat the heat for all 4 of my brands.

Yay Houston

Anyone want to guess what a customer pay A/C compressor job costs on a Lotus Evora?

I worked in a sweatbox before, not a fan thats one of the many reasons I’m back in school. That said I still drive with the windows down in 90+.

Next you’re going to tell me these mythical “back seats” aren’t nailed in wooden pallets.

Your forecast is better than the one I got where I live. They just straight-up forgot the rest of the week! And what’s with that thing covering the sun? our moon doesn’t look like that...

oh man I can’t drive with the windows down like that. Mostly because it take me over an hour to get home all while never reaching above 40mph

Sweat’s good for the pores! Think of it as a rolling sauna. Of course if all your doing is sitting in traffic it does feel like you are in an oven.

welp, I guess not so close. I was expecting people to say $1500- $1800. It’s more like $3800 :] Yay dyslexic! I thought I saw $3200 :]

I’m just kidding. Though I don’t really like how it looks, prefer the Elise (I don’t know why, it’s not like it’s a bad looking car).

lol very true :] My dad owns a commercial A/C company. One time he sent me to a Chic-fil-a restaurant to do some fittings and run the plumming for the A/C units on the roof. My thermometer was reading 112 all the time breathing fried chicken/waffle fry smoke for the fryer exhaust stack. I didn’t eat fried foods for like a year after that

Elise and Exige twins were pretty great... when functioning

Man, that would’ve made me hungry AF, and they have refreshing sweet tea. That is pretty warm though. Where I worked was like that but imagine a ware house with machines that vulcanize rubber, that’s the hell I dealt with.

all about that relativity man.

Are they that bad? I live in Canada where these are unicorns (I’ve never seen a Exige), so I don’t know what their reliability is like.

i’ll just say, ignore everything Top Gear has told you. These cars are not crafted through the expertise of British Engineering. LOLOLOL!!! NOPE! Just a bunch of regular blokes putting all sorts of random parts from random global suppliers.

When they are straight, they do drive pretty damn incredible..... though

So this is to fix the A/C on a Lotus?

oh dayum! All the nopes :( That smell of rubber would of got me sick asap

the compressor oil was dark with bits of metal. The internals went out. The customer want one from Lotus, not Toyota. Not cheap or an easy job.

Wasn’t good the air was thick with smoke on hot humid days. It would just hang there. I was concerned for my health.

I imagine they didn’t want to hear that their Lotus had a Toyota engine?

If some of you live in Houtson, I pray for you. Not because of the heat.

what sucks is the heat index with the humidity and secondary humidity. They are saying about 41C
