Sweating ***** at a blistering 1mph
Had to drive up to Reseda to pick up my cf diffuser, literally bumper to bumper nonstop from the wilshire (405) onramp all the way to ventura blvd and down to reseda blvd.
I'm from l.a., so sitting in traffic is in my blood. What really got me was the fact that in the valley, there are no coastal breezes.
There was a thread a few days ago with the temp gauge reading 101 from a driver in texas.
Had to sit in bumper to bumper for 3 hours in this heat...
I'm proud to say that I took the heat like a man.
Every window open blasting sublime.
The 2-fin diffuser was totally worth it btw.

Northbound I5/I405 at I210 and then California-14 split was no fun either. I was there at 4:00pm and my gauge also read 103*. I'm one of those idiots who does not use AC when I travel alone.

You also misspelled "beast"
"I'm one of those ""beasts"" who does not use AC when I travel alone."
I just picked up the diffuser today, I still have to figure out how to install it.
I was told I'm supposed to use those screws that cut as they are screwed in with a drill and drill them in through the back of the OEM plastic piece through to the cf diffuser without coming out the other side.
We'll see how that turns out.

This isn't a manly thing, this is a dumb thing. There's a difference. Caveman **** doesn't make you a "beast" when you're letting water into your expensive and electronics-heavy mercedes, and burning in the heat because you want to is just... silly.

You prefer to sweat your nuts off when you have a perfectly functioning air conditioner?
Isn't the point of a luxury car to keep you comfortable.

Why? What's the point? I did that when I first got my Mustang cause I could tell it was robbing power. You can't tell at all with the E55.

My little C300 loaner says 109 today which is why I take temp gauge readings with a grain of salt...

Why not use the seat air conditioners? I use them in my CL all the time.
Nothing like 3 blue lights. Massage is nice too.
Stuck on an urban "highway?"
Just wait until the population triples and you have to drive 60 mpg mandated cars with wind motors. But You are stuck in traffic?! Jefe, there ain't no wind, switch to solar! It's raining, switch to methane from the La Raza mandated bean flavored product you ingested for lunch. The attachment has moved from the ballot to the wallet to the multifunction attachment with 2.0 atmospheres of suction.
