Not me. It is going to be 100 all week here. Besides the desire for A/C, my cooling system needs some work because the engine starts overheating with longer drives and at highway speeds.

I was driving it about 4 days a week during the 115 degree period. The only reason I'm not still doing so is that it's off getting de-rusted and prepped for painting as we speak.
AC? Who needs it? It's under 120, so we're good to go!

Cheez, I can't believe it's hotter here in KC than it is in Phoenix!
102* right now with our typical high humidity.........
I can't drive my "Classic" when it's this hot, it's black/black (and an XK-E)

I picked up my car today and loved the drive! Only about 82 degrees so despite the AC on the outs, no problems. Sooooo much fun!

Mine doesn't have plates yet so I can't drive it. No brakes either. :(

It's 105 here with the heat index today and I not only went to work this morning in the classic, but I went out to Gahanna (about 20 miles away) over lunch to talk to a sign shop about my roof graphic. it wouldn't be so bad if not for the 276% humidity - it's like driving in a giant fish tank. Bleh.
