Auto air conditioning Cons:
	- Requires more maintenance
	- Requires more initial investment
	- Eats more gas during use
	- Robs your care of power (that small cars need
	  desperately when passing)
	- May overheat your engine in traffic jams

Auto air conditioning Pros:
	- Keeps you cool
	- Keeps road noises out
	- Keeps bugs, dust, deisel fumes, etc. out
	- Adds to the resale value of the car

I'm sure that there are more items to both lists but these are probably
the most important ones.  If you have allergies like my wife does, you
don't have a choice.  I stopped worrying about how much it was costing
me to operate the air conditioner in my Subaru a long time ago.  Now I
sit back and watch everyone else get sweaty & irritated while I
peacefully listened to a tape.  I like it, but decide for yourself.
