I'll trade you a couple of days of heat for all the rain we've had in Northern Illinois. We've had nearly 8 inches of rain in the past 10 days. Forget the exterior temperature, we need lifeboats.

My Ford used to say that, in December in NY. It was broken, like most things in the Ford cars I've owned. Most I seen in my Vette in the past month has been 94. Guess I'm lucky so far.

Hows the car running with those temps?

120* in Vegas and you can still walk down the street and not sweat your azz off. Here in the Northeast, it's going to be about 95 today with about 1000% humidity!

You northeastern guys crack me up when I hear you talk about humidity. You're in a cool dry climate compared to Houston. Come down here and you'll know what humid is.

I'm from Nova Scotia, and now live in Texas.... I agree... the humidity in Texas is unbelievable compared to the humidity in the north east. I always get a kick out of my mom saying how humid it is out when I'm visiting... I just laugh at her....

On June 26, 1990 it was 122 degrees ambient temperature in Phoenix, AZ. Heaven knows what the adjusted temperature was with humidity and roadway temperatures on top of that.
Our company cars were 5.0L Mustangs. They wouldn't even run in that temperature. It was a long day in the office that day...
