I think that's a gasoline generator on the roof. A several hundred dollar fix to an under fifty dollar problem--that is why it is funny.

Until your military service has required you neutralize enemy combatants and invaders in the defense of your country,
don't presume to tell us that have defended you that you don't support every shot we fired to eliminate that enemy.

Wow, I guess they let anyone drive a mercedes now days.

Pretty ingenious of him though. But repairing the car's AC would probably be cheaper than the generator and a household window AC.
 Quoting: Sikhed


Not really. It probably needs a compressor, condenser, new lines and new seals and of course fully charged. And good luck locating the parts.

A car with an adequate air conditioning system is probably cheaper than repairing that benz.

That contraption cost more than repairing the vehicle's AC.

But it is amusing.

That written by someone (me) that has replaced two vehicle AC compressors and gotten the AC working, and I never went to HVAC or vehicle AC school--heat transfer and fluid flow is not rocket science, it is junior high school physics.

Let’s make fun of poor people. ???
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76784946

He spent more on that than simply fixing the problem. This was not a "poor people" issue.
 Quoting: Louis in Richmond


NOPE .... !! Not even close!

Ever get a price quote on repairing a Mercedes AC unit on that size sedan that basically needs to be replaced?

Don't think $ Hundred$$.
Think $ THOUSANDS$$ (and not 1, or 2 either, think $4,000ish to $5,000iah)

I have no idea why it is so expensive but I decided right then and there that was LAST Mercedes I would EVER own!!

Re: Beat the Heat, Ghetto Style
he has an ac unit hooked up to what looks like a portable power generator battery on the roof and most likely is using this to cool his car when parked/off, perhaps lives out the car and probably isn't using it while driving...Also, if THIS is shocking to you...you need to get out more.

Nuh-uh, especially not if it's a Mercedes! He probably already HAD the window AC and maybe even the generator.

Well, they might have stolen the generator and the window unit...so only their time was the cost and they are probably not employed so that was free as well.

Autoweek magazine recently had a photo of a pick up truck in Florida that had a piece of plywood across the removed rear window and he had put in a small window ac and had the generator in the bed of the truck. That would really be cold in the cab part! But how could he be street legal without being about to see out the back and use his rear view mirror? Why didn't cops bag him? And why was his truck unattended while parked at the store? Anyone could have lifted the genny and been gone!

Everyone that commented on my post is correct.

I graduated with honors in physics which included heat transfer and fluid flow, not everyone does nor knows how to repair air conditioning.

That's a gas-powered generator on the roof running that AC unit.
