Crappy problems

Ok is this happening to anyone else? My AC is starting to smell mildewed like a 3 week old gym towel....

Also my exhaust tip is starting to rust!

I'm kinda pissed at this since my car only has 1700 miles on it.

About your A/C smelling nasty...next time you drive, turn the heater all the way up as hot as it will go, fan speed on full, and drive w/ the windows down so you won't suffocate for about 30 minutes. This should kill all the mildew and other crap that's growing on the inside of your A/C system.

I've had this problem happen twice on my car and each time it went away after doing the above...

About that a/c smell, one should turn on a/c for few minutes every week (even in winter). This lubricates a/c components and keep those smelly mildews from building up in filters / vents. It's a cool thing to do, hee-hee.
