Default Hitting the Ton

Yesterday I hit the magic 100 in my S-Type. It was 103 degrees going home from work. What was worse it was still 90 degrees at 1030 at night and about 90 percent humidity. I love DC in the summer (not).

mike, you actually beat us by 1 degree for the heat yesterday, but I think we got you on the humidity! If this is any sign of what our summer is going to be.......I better get busy digging that hole in the backyard for a cement pond!

Rick,

Was it raining and still 102? All I can say is thank God for a good A/C unit which my car has.

Rick,

Sounds like Joyce can handle all your glass-cutting needs when she gets home in the afternoons now....


Mike,

I hear you loud and clear. I'm already begging for October. I'd bypass every spring and summer for the rest of my life if I could....

Rick,

Maybe you can petition the moderators for an exception to policy.

congrats on hitting 100, nice thing about our cars we dont have to see the odometer all the time. i either leave mine on the clock or the average mpg. then again my car has done roughly 8000 miles in the past year and a half lol right now im driving it daily but plan to put it back away when im done with my business expansion
