There was a dude on this forum recently said that people who live in Arizona store their sports cars in the summer!
My sports car spends most of the summer in the garage here in Phoenix (I live here year round). It's just too damn hot driving around in black leather interior when it's 115*. The cloth seats in my truck are a beautiful thing that time of year. I'll get it out here and there for a quick drive, but not much. It spends most of the summer covered.
Many have never resided where the average daily Summer high is 100° to 112°. It definitely takes some getting used to. I routinely drive my C7 convertible to the health club around 7:00 PM in the Summertime when it's 100° +/-. I only park it in the shade of the buildings that time of year. If it's too hot? I drive my Mercedes Benz turbodiesel sedan.
106°. @ 7:23 PM ^^^^ hot enuff for ya?!

Reason: sp
I live in Virginia, and can typically drive the Vette if we have a mild winter. If there is sand and salt brine on the road, it stays in the garage. If I can’t drive the Vette, I drive my ‘16 Silverado. It’s lifted and has the GM Borla Exhaust. It looks like a hot wheels toy. In many ways I enjoy driving it more than the Vette. (I fit in it more comfortably, I can bring my kids, and I can tow toys).

Ugh. I'll take four seasons, thank you. Living in those temps sounds horrible.

At least they can cook their breakfast out in the sun on a piece of sheet metal without using the stove. That's gotta be handy.
The way the weather's been in Wisconsin 112 degrees doesn't sound so bad right now. I could probably take it for 5 minutes.
I'll be in Spring Mountain March 17th, hoping for mid 70's but with how this winter is going who knows. They had snow there recently.

I live in the DMV as well and we're expecting snow tomorrow
