  When you want the bugs shot directly into your face

    If only we still had bugs.

    But we don’t, and that should fucking terrify everybody.

      If only more people used redneck air conditioning. And I’m not kidding I’m going to school for HVAC cause I don’t want to starve in the street. Do y’all understand how bad this shit is?? It was supposed to be a medical device and y’all mofos set that shit to 65 to sleep. I’m not bougie and I understand that the 1% does most of the polluting but we need to change how we live

    In practice, with a normal amount of bugs it doesn’t really happen

    The inside of the intake gets dirty as fuck.

    That’s a Defender, the Goat of off road vehicles.

      I’m pretty sure this is the Goat of off roading:

  That would be genious if it didn’t need an open window.

    My sister had a Plymouth Duster with little flaps under the dash that you could open to vent in some air from the outside.

    The faster you go, the cooler you are. And also cooler.

  Beyond the moderate dubiousness of the intended mechanism here, if that thing isn’t somehow strapped down or secured beyond being nestled into the half rolled up window, that could very easily come ajar from significant braking or accelerating.

  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in cars where the driver just piles loose shit all over their dash, or has a chandelier attached to their rearview mirror, which have come loose and hit people in the face or gotten wedged in some wonky position, and this has lead to an actual or near car accident.

    It rolling off the dash is the least of people’s problems. Depending on the location it might just get launched into your face at 100 miles an hour by an airbag deploying.

    Whenever I see people with their feet up on the dash I know they have never seen a person after an air bag has hit them .

  Yeah, who doesn’t want hot and humid air blowing in their face on a hot and humid day?

    Don’t forget about the bugs! Bees and wasps, funnelled right at your face. Pure, car crash convenience.

    • Gonzako@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’ll be honest. I think insects are either learning not to go around roads or there are way fewer insects. I can’t remember the last time I had a bug on my windshield

      Real easy to slap some wire mesh in there and let it filter out the bugs

  • IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Better than nothing.

    • superkret@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      no, not really.

  This cannot be good for your fuel efficiency.

  • anyhow2503@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Neither are other methods of air conditioning/circulation.

    • motor_spirit@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      man my old Cruze dropped about 1/3 of its power efficiency if you wanted to use AC while trying to get up to speed and merge on the highway

      gotta cut the cooling to engage the afterburners

      I wasn’t trying to imply they aren’t.

  They could just remove the front and rear windshields and wear goggles.

  Does it at least has a swamp cooler inside, for somewhat colder, but more humid air?

• betahack@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  ooooook, in the city this would create your own smog box!

  • Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Where do you think the ac gets it’s air from? Either inside the cabin, or the same place this thing gets it’s air from.

    • CountVon@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Except the car’s HVAC system passes air through a filter. How much of a difference that makes is going to depend on the type of filter and whether it’s been changed sufficiently often, but it’s definitely doing more than nothing.
