This aint right...

Since this is a weather thread, if i didnt have so much family here, i'd move to death valley. Clean sunny driving all year! ☀️☀️

Have you ever been to Death Valley?  There is good reason for its moniker.  It is the second hottest place on Earth!  And, BTW, I nearly froze to death in Death Valley, midst the snow.  But, that is a story for another time.

Never been, but they say its a dry heat, you dont even feel it.  Lol

I drove through death valley on July 4th weekend 1987 in a black Cosworth Vega (no AC)  we had to roll up the windows because it felt like a hair dryer on high was blowing in on us...

Good grief man! Thats hot!! I remember the vegas, kind of like the Astre, we used to call them ash-trays.

Not a chevy, but a GM. Made by pontiac.

Research Cosworth Vegas, they were fast little 4 cylinders back in the day.  It was a fun car to drive.  I delivered it out to LA from NW Indiana back when the speed limit was 55

That's the joke we say here in Arizona about the dry desert heat in Phoenix! Lol!
For it being the middle of February, it's been in the mid 60's here the last week! Most of our snow has melted away and Phoenix seems to be setting new record high temperatures on a daily basis! They're calling for 90 down there before long!

May 2009 (last time I was there - lol), 112° F before 9:00 AM.  At least I had the good sense to head elsewhere before my brain boiled.

I'm sorry if it hits 70 by 9:00am, it is going to be too hot. On the bright side. By the time noon rolled around you wouldn't have to use the oven. Might be able to just throw a cast iron pan on the sidewalk, throw some meat in it, come back a little while latter and eat your meal.

I used to fight the heat real bad, a/c every chance i got. Then a mexican friend of mine taught me how to embrace it. It really is all in the head. Now i love a good new england heat wave, sometimes we'll hit upper 90's, but the humidity is like 80%. I think i'd love the southwest.

A friend just got back from the phillippines, said it was so hot, you have to hurry along when your outdoors, like people do when it pouring out. Hard to breath, 100 degrees, 100% humidity. Nasty stuff.

Hey Zieg, i looked up the cosworth vega, pretty cool!

[philo_beddoe]

Feels like death valley today! And this is evening shade temp.
