Well i did have it but it aint working and it will cost $1000 to fix. Is it possible to get a cooler for cars that you plug into your cigarette lighter? and when you are driving you can keep it open so the cold air comes out into the car? is that possible? and its not problem to always run it full force while you are driving right, because it runs on your alternator right, and your alternator keeps going forever right??? or should i buy a $100 square air conditioner and plug it into an inverter? and please dont say to roll down the windows, as it doesnt keep you cool enough and is extremely irritating for long periods and you cant hear your music. thanx!!

Well if you can find an automotive alternator that can handle the current draw necessary to power one of those A/C units, you'll also need some way to run the coils to the exterior of the car (ie hang the A/C out the window of your car).
You'll spend way more than $1000 to rig something up. An A/C unit is basically a heat exchanger. You need to discharge the heat somewhere, and if you have the entire unit in the car, you'll actually be heating up the car with the energy usage. Box A/C units usuallly "hang" outside a window, because it must transfer the heat somewhere else. In this case to the atmosphere. (Yet another way man kind increase heat on this planet).
Honestly, your best and cheapest way to air condition your car is to get the A/C fixed.
As for those tiny refridgerator you're talking about. Ever feel around them? They are expelling the heat right into the passenger compartment. Typically they have a fan going to move the hot air away from the heat sinks.
If you don't believe us, then go and do what you think is possible.

Sorry no idea about the plug in air conditioner but... I do know that places like pepboys or advanced auto parts sell a freon kit that you can install yourself. I don't have any idea how much it costs or how to do it but I'm sure it's less than $100 and the people at the store could either talk you through it or help you do it. hope this helps

Ok, first off...No power inverter in the world is going to be able to convert the amount of power you will need to run a refrigerator or an AC unit. See, the reason you say rolling your windows down doesn't work...is because you are a pansy. I have a great AC unit in my Suburban, and when my son or wife is with me, I run it, but if I'm by myself or out running around doing work, then i roll the windows down, and it works just fine, but then again....I'm not a pansy like you. Its pretty straight forward.....either cough up the cash to fix your AC, or stop your crying about how hot it is and deal with it. You obviously have no idea about the power output needed to run an AC unit, so please...go ahead and try your little stunt...then come tell us about it so we can laugh at you.
