In the car? At the coldest setting possible. In the house? We don't have an air conditioned house. Lots of trees to keep a shade on for most of the day.

Where I live in my little part of Canada, we don't need it. But believe it or not, 3 hours north of here you do need it.

I keep mine at 76. Thermostats can be off by several degrees so it is hard to tell the real temp unless you have certified and calibrated thermometers.

Hey, some of us consider that a goal in life...

Anyway.. no AC in the house, or in the Ranger. 3 windows, all open, all the time. In the house, well, I don't spend a lot of time in there when it's hot out.
The Exploder, I never use the AC, don't even know if it works..

In the 01 truck, on max cold all the time in summer. I have not yet done the a/c modification to make the Super Duty a/c work like it should.

Here in southern Oregon, we don't really need a/c. It is flood irrigated around here, so that combined with cool night time temps and lots of trees, makes it OK. Just close up the house on hot days until 6 or 7 PM, then open up everything and turn on a few fans and the house cools right off.

Usually keep mine around 75 or 76 24/7 here in the summer...we're situated just perfect in this valley that it holds heat ALL the time....like lows in the 80s. Nothing like the reassuring hum of an entire city of air conditioners to sing you to sleep.
