I once owned an old chevette that had not only no AC, the temperature controls didn't work - the linkage from the control to the heater mechanism was broken.

So around halloween I would raise the hood and manually get the heater going (switch to circulate water coolant past a fan that blew into the cabin) and around opening day I would raise the hood and turn it off again. One spring there was an early warm spell before I had a chance to turn the heater off. I was stuck in traffic and had the windows rolled down when there was a huge rainstorm.

So there I was, sitting in traffic, windows rolled up, 85 deg outside and the heater blasting. Of course it was blowing humid air in, so I couldn't see out the fogged up windows.

But it had an automatic transmission!
