I grew up in the North, but I recently moved South to obtain a new job.
I am absolutely used to all of the concerns that the North can cause for a vehicle.
In the North, you have to worry about the salt on the road. If you drive in the North for long enough, your car will eventually begin to rust, and it will fall apart that way. When I lived in the North, I always made sure to buy our used vehicles in the South, because I didn’t trust the car… However, the South is even worse. I have become so reliant on our air conditioner because of the heat, then on an average day, the dash of our car is nearly 120 degrees! Just care about you gentlemen heat your cars on Winter time days, I have to cool our car down on Summer days. The air conditioner has to be in nearly perfect condition to survive in the South because rolling the windows down does not work. If you ever forget to turn your air conditioner on, you can literally burn your hands on the steering wheel and have to go to the hospital, but nobody wants to have that happen after a long day at work. In our car, the air conditioner has to toil extra tough because I have a black leather interior. Without the air conditioner, our entire back would be hot. Thankfully, our furnace is never used in the South, so I don’t have to worry about that splitting down care about in the North.
