Gumbo,

I see you have never been to the Gulf Coast of Texas. People were asking me all the time when we moved here is it hot. My reply was just like home. It is not the heat its the humidity.

The car should be fine. I would make sure I have the AC serviced especially get the compressor checked. Also check to see if the dealer here carries the parts for your vehicle. If not
then shipping parts can be a delay and more money.

Act your age not your shoe size
