Driving a long distance in hot weather without AC?!

Drove an our old Fairlane from Venice Beach to Phoenix in July....and lived. As mentioned, ice chest with some water bottles....
When I make my trips from Spokane to AZ in my truck, that has a/c, I still go to Costco and grab a case of water and bring it and an ice chest for the ride. Most trips I only end up with a bottle or two left when I get home. If you bring an ice chest do not put sweetened drinks in it, they will only dehydrate you. If you don't want to carry an ice chest get yourself a gallon jug form a water store, fill it about half way and freeze. Finish filling it before leaving, will stay frozen for quite a while....
