So this is a system to continuously blow moist air into the car. I
don't think I'd have the courage to install such a thing. :^)
On the 18th I went to a local car show which was rained out. Susan
wanted me to turn on the heat to dry her out on the way home; well it
knocked the chill off in the footwells, anyway. The event was re-held on the
25th and I drove up there again (Susan, smarter than I, stayed home) after
7-8 miles in the 90-degree+ heat, I was roasting. Yup, I had forgotten to
turn the heat off, and the heater, in addition to the engine heat and the
heat radiating off the traffic on Interstate 95, all conspired to cook me.
