Back in the day, our older brother had a really nice car.
The thing is, there was no working air conditioner.
We didn’t even have a working air conditioner in our house though, not even a window AC unit. I guess you could say, we got used to the extreme heat. When we wanted to cool off, we would go to the local swimming pool and our brother would take us in his sweet ride! The engine in that car was a monster and he would often peel out and we would take off in a rush! I always enjoyed feeling the relaxing breeze when we were driving so fast! The windows being rolled down was something like a makeshift cooling system in my mind. Anyway, it was so much better than relaxing at home with nothing but a fan to try to keep cool. Also, it was fun getting into water fights around the neighborhood. And of course, if we were desperate on a miserably overheated day, we would sometimes go to a rich friend’s home and enjoy their cooling system. Our parents didn’t like us to get spoiled too much by air conditioning though basically because we were unable to afford it. Still, I’ll never forget rolling around in our brother’s car with those windows rolled down. Nobody even cared that there was no cooling system, the car was just impressive and my brother got a lot of attention from the ladies with that car. I don’t think they even minded the lack of air conditioning when he would take different girls out on dates.
