L&L I live in VA and seldom use home AC for the same reasons. I live on a very wooded lot and use ceiling fans and a whole house fan at night. It brings the house down to a very comfortable temperature and by closing the windows and shades in the AM it stays there most of the day. Last summer which was hotter then usual, I used it maybe two weeks. A couple summers ago when it was just average I never turned it on. THe trees, shade, fans and managing there timing goes a long way to keeping the house cool and having fresh air to breathe all the time. In and around DC I do find it is needed in the car as traffic is so bad your usually sitting waiting a lot and it does get hot without the AC.

Good for you.
We like it stuck in traffic as well, but you see, about 6 years ago.... a horizontal steel pole fence post found its way into the grille of our van....it pushed its way almost into the engine block
we got a radiator core but opted out of the $1500 AC repair if only the fence would have warned us it was coming.
you probably like to get used to the outside if you're a biker too.
Our air cooled 1950 scooter hates heat and standing still she gets a little smoky on a hot day.
We avoid traffic and parades as a result
