Especially in a car with no A/C.
Mid 90's today, and unfortunately there weren't any underground spots left in the parking garage. I think I lost about 5 pounds in sweat on the drive home. :)
Here's how hot it gets in a car after 3 hours in direct sunlight:
That's the worst example, but every disk in the box is unusable, and the box itself is a little warped. :(
I used an infrared heat probe on my dash (grey) after my car was out in sun for half a day. 170 degrees. No wonder dashes crack!

Hey Garth,
I love the photos of your car on your website. You descriptions for each are even better. Stay cool buddy.

Man, I HATE the heat, and my Terrorist doesn't have the air fixed on it yet. Now that I think of it, I need to priortize that right away.

No difference in Colorado, except "maybe" an afternoon shower every so often...

I'm so jealous... you get a shower. I"m sitting in my house at 10:00 pm and it's 88 degrees INSIDE! Oh yeah... this is in WA where it rains all time.

Hey,
Even here in NewfieLand, the weather is abnormally hot.
Our summers are usually around 20^C - 25^C (uhhh... that's about 68^F -
77^F).This year we've been melting in around 28^C - 32^C (82^F - 90^F).
I'm some glad (a little Newfie dialect for ya) I've got A/C in my Stang.

You folks all suck! LOL..All it has done here in Ohio is rain all summer. I think we ahve ahd 1 week of nice ( above 75 and below 95) weather. It only got above 90 once so far..and now the stores are putting up their back to school and Halloween displays...WAAAAAH! (sound of online baby crying)

I'm a WA lifer, for a reason... and it ain't this friggin heat!!! It's 6:00 pm and it's 82 degrees in the house... a drop of 6 degrees from yesterday. I"m on my way to Starbuck's down the street to meet my wife and our agent to go over an inspection on a house we're buying... it's just too damn hot to conduct business here. At least S-buck's has AC!
We haven't seen any moisture (other than dripping from my body) in the last several weeks.

Gee, it's 78 here in South Louisiana. Perhapse you should make sure that new house has Central air...
Kate, you're a convertible type of person. Imagine not being able to feel confident enough to put the top down more than a couple days in an entire summer just because it always looked like it was going to rain?
It sucks... believe me. :-P I haven't seen my bike in weeks. I don't drive the snake in the rain 'less I have to. They've both been sitting a lot this year. If the weatherman even has the balls to mention drought up here this year I think I'm have to visit the station personally.
