    Parents need cooling - trying to talk them out of getting a portable A/C

    Didn't buy new car

    Thanks for that but not looking for compliments. We also have a "new" car, just 10 years old. I would take either the 20 or 10 year old vehicle on a transcontental trip starting this minute. No preparations needed because the maintenance is up to par. Not to say something couldn't break on the...
