Default How hot is it

Ever wondered how high of a outside temperature the C7 will display? Well it's at least 123degF cause that's what mine showed out in traffic today. Be careful it's hot out there at least in Phoenix.

It was so hot in AZ on Monday at the golf course my I-Phone said "temperature too high, cannot operate phone." I had to put it in the cooler for 20 minutes before I could use it.

Ironically, when I went to use it, I was going to check the temperature.

Don't know how accurate these car thermometers are, but on our way to Spring Mountain on Sunday 6/18/2017, the car said 122 degrees on the Amorgosa valley just outside of Pahrump. The official temp in Pahrump on Monday 6/19/2017 was 117 degrees, and we still ripped up the track!

Hmm, granted it doesn't get that hot in SC but those of us that live in the sunny hot South say the the same about you folk who live in the cold north!

Been in Easter SC for 35 years. My 5 Vettes have been DD's 365 days a year. Lived in NE Ohio in a town on Lake Eire- never again! Like what you do on windy, snowy, nasty winter days -when it's very hot we stay indoors and drive to wherever in our air conditioned cars!
