Sweat contains salt and uric acid that will stink up the interior over time. And it's just better on the interior in general to run the AC when it's humid out, dries out the inside a little. I actually keep a little damp rid bucket in my car when it's parked. Soon I won't need that anymore.
If I was to sweat, I am sure I would turn on the AC. I just haven't even come close to sweating yet. It just doesn't feel uncomfortable to me at all.

I wish I were like you. I guess I should exercise more, maybe lean up a little. But my mother/roommate cooks such good meals, that I always wind up overeating. It could be the antidepressants elevating my core temperature. They certainly make me hungry all the time.

I'm about 20 pounds too heavy myself. Not an athlete by any stretch of the imagination. I just slow down and relax when it gets nice out (warmer and more humid).

You must be very accustomed and comfortable in this humidity. I however sweat so much I get very dehydrated, therefor my AC is ON in my car all the time except when I can open my windows and remember the cool evenings up north during the winters here.
Have yet to were a coat since moving here nearly five years ago though, lol.

I don't use it as it takes away power from the engine.

In your vehicle or at home? I use it at home, just not in truck as rolling down the windows is perfect when driving.
