My cousin called the other afternoon and was certainly aggravated, she had just returned from a trip with her friends and she wanted to tell me about it… She said that the locale they had visited was really gorgeous, however they had gone to a ski resort about 3 hours away and she said the mountain views or spectacular.
She’s not one to ski although she said that the ski cabin had numerous activities that she could participate in during the afternoon while her friends were on the slopes; As she was telling me all this, I could not understand why she was so aggravated, then she told me about the drive home.
Apparently, her friend drives a certainly old vehicle that has an Heating and A/C system that does not work. She said she wished she would have known that ahead of time because she would have provided to drive her own car! Instead she spent three hours there and three hours back dwelling shivering under a blanket in the backseat. The front events of the vehicle seemed to work good but the fan would only operate on low. So none of the heat made it to the backseat of the car. Her friend who was driving was comfortable and kept apologizing for the cold. She said she never absolutely thought about it because she was usually the only one in the vehicle and she knew she needed to have the system took care of but could not afford it just now. This was easily a learning experience for my cousin and from now on she will constantly ask before going on a trip with someone about their Heating and A/C system in their car. Traveling numerous hours, while being uncomfortable, just seems to ruin the entire experience, then your Heating and A/C system in your vehicle is just as crucial as the one you have in your home… Nowadays we spend far too much time traveling to not invest money in that also.
