Don't stop too suddenly in front of him or you might be the one with a new A/C unit for your car!

What kind of strain is that putting on his battery, running a 12V DV source through an inverter to a high-draw device running at 120V AC? Any EE's on the board care to take a stab at that one?

And if he gets into an accident, who is REALLY going to pay the price when the a/c unit goes FLYING?

What an idiot.

"If you install a 12,000 BTU room air conditioner to the top of your car, you might be a redneck".


BTW, If any of you've seen "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector" you'll find this quite familiar, lol. In the movie, Larry's truck (total redneck truck) has a room AC like this installed in the back window of the pickup (installed just like in a home window). It's absolutely hilarious!
