That's a great idea! As an added feature, you could add a vacuum tube to one of the vents and stick it in your shirt! I do something similar in the 110+ temps here when I'm working outside for long periods of time. We wear wool uniforms and bullet proof vests so I have a contraption I secure to one of the A/C vents in my patrol car with a vacuum tube on it and when I could get back in the car I shove that thing between my vest and shirt... works awesome!

Cool shirt is another way. Used for racing, pumps the ice water right to your shirt

This is a great idea! Good thinking on using frozen water bottles.. a cooler malfunction when its full of water wouldnt have been ideal..

What he said. Or just throw in a couple chunks to help keep your water frozen.

I'd mount it in the "trunk" and fix a drain line to go out the battery drain hole. Then all you have to do is top it off with ice at any gas station in America. you then have room for hitchiking chicks.

A local hot dog stand has one of those in the dining room to supplemnt the large floor fan. Doesn't do much in a large room, but it may work in the car's cockpit. Be cool!
