It's 97º F with a relative humidity of 34%. I prefer to sit under the AC, read the forum, read a book, listen to some music, and take a nap.

I just finished washing my Vette. If I take it out now, I have to drive through dirty water

If I wait, the wind will blow and dry out the puddles, but the car will be dusty and need to be washed again
