True. I've been to Montreal in the summer and it can be just as warm or cool as Boston etc. There is a tendency though, to perceive the US through its historical European context, and early development. A focus on the North Eastern parts of the country. This can be misleading, as most population today and most cars reside in the warmer parts of the country.
Nearly 100 million, not quite, people live the former Confederacy states, plus Texas, Southern Illinois.
California 36,961,664 mln (most cars are auto here) Florida 18,537,969 Texas 24,782,302
Total U.S. 307,006,550
By the way, I've lived for years in Nevada, Arizona, and Texas, and am a fan of auxillary tranny coolers.
I think they are great, and can be helpful not only in prolonging auto transmission life, but also may be good for Subaru head gasket issues. The tranny fluid in an auto car goes to the factory cooler which is a cylinder imerged into the radiator fluid, or placed right next to it. The radiator coolant essentially cools the tranny fluid. If you can cool the tranny fluid before it goes near the radiator coolant, you get a cooler coolant, and cooler engine, cooler engine heads, and possibly lesser probability of the dreaded Subaru head gasket problem.
