When I sell my car the ad will read... "Stored summers - only driven in winter."
This is getting out of hand!

What?!?!

No kidding, Lee. We're caddy-wompus (sp?) from the rest of the US. I'm going to head out for a quick jaunt tomorrow night around 11 pm. It's the only time I can put up with it. I went a few weeks ago in the afternoon for about 45 min and went straight to the pool when I got home!!
Are you going to enter the Phx Flight this year?

I usually get my car out by taking my daughter to school in the morning. I'm looking forward to more reasonable temps so I can make it up to the Pavilions.

Meantime I'm trying to get my chopper done in the garage. As if the heat isn't bad enough, I'm busy bending flat stock with a torch.

Pictures of a Michigan winter should cool you down.

I was in Palm Springs a few weeks ago. Daytime high was 106° it felt cooler than a 95° day in Florida for sure. The locals were all carrying on about how hot it was and to do what you need to do early in the day. We didn't mind it at all. It was refreashing to be in the heat and not drenched with sweat. When it starts closing in on 100° in Florida it gets unbearable.
I love hot weather thats why I am in Florida a close second would be the desert but, I like the ocean too much. Then again, at least you do not have hurricanes.

Hell at least you Phoenix guys can drive up to Flagstaff or Pine whatever ville in the mountains and cool off. It is only 95 here, but we also get the 70% humidity.

Having lived through some pretty intense NJ and NY summers, I'd take 100 degrees at 100% humiditiy over 115 degrees and 8% humidity any day.

We're hoping for 75 today. And we're certainly not complaining.

Mine is sitting stored in the hangar right now. Started it to make sure it runs but it will not get used very much for the next 6 weeks!
Course I am driving it around with the top off 9 months of the year when the rest of the country is freezing! JoeA

Yep, it's the OTHER 9 months out of the year that make it worth living here.

Lee,
I've lived here for 34 years. I don't know how you can say we have good weather for 9 months. It is 100 degrees from late April to late November. Alan Poh '77 Carrera 3.0 |

I'm having trouble commiserating with complaints about heat when you have beer, Porsches and women available...

Here in Tucson it ain't no picnic, a tad cooler that Phooeyinx, but 18 miles away horizontally and 1 1/2 vertically we have Summerhaven with a high today of 79!!
I'll take the heat over my hometown of Roachester NY anyday. At least I don't have to shovel an average of 120 inches of snow, drive on ice and watch my car turn into a pile of dark red dust in a few years.

Hats off to you Rob! If we could figure out a way to send any or all of the three we would!
And I have to agree with Alan...it's more like 6 months out of the year that are tolerable.
