So summer is right around the corner here in King of Prussia, PA and no matter when I walk out to my car, the inside of the car is FRYING. Even with the 20% all around, we're still having severe heat problems.

Hm...due to the hot air my CAI has been sucking in, the wires that run across the CAI that were previously taped to prevent them from melting are now coming apart, so I had to double up on the velcro I put down. Damn hot air, I must say!

I'm afraid to drive too hard in the summer, and I hate it. Otherwise, it's a lot of fun -- I can cool my car down quite well with the a/c. And roll around town with the tint/moonroof down/sunglasses on. B)

I'm due for a 60K mile tune up. Definitely getting that timing belt replaced along with a lot of other goodies. I bet my car'll run a lot better afterwards. I also need an oil change. How many miles should I clean out my K&N air filter and how should I go about cleaning it??

i loooove the heat! it used to be my favorite time in school. ok, no i'm not a perve but don't you like to see all the babes wearing t-tops and skirts???? i miss those days... college ends too early for girls to do this... and unfortunately it's even bad to look at a girls that way in college because they will feel harassed.

do you think the 20% tint will absorb the heat? i mean tints are black. i noticed my car was hotter than before tinting. maybe it's just my imagination...

i love these temps. the hotter the better. the more humid the better. maybe i'm just wierd.

you like the humidity. Yeah i think your weird lol tongue.gif. I wish it would stay like 75 during the summer and like 25-30 in the winter. If it has to get hot let it get hot but when it is 90 degrees and 100% humidity i want to shoot my self. And that what sucks about the northeast. During the summer it get damn hot and during the winter it gets damn cold.

As I am prone to running fevers due to my Crohnes... I LOVE the heat. I rarely even use my air unless I am dressed up or with my girl and we want to look good when we get there.

I like the heat but pushing 100 almost at full humidity is horrible, I am fine at 100+ with no humidity but today was bad for me because I had to work on the car outside with the air being hot but the engine hotter

Yea, humidity is definitely a killer. I love the summer just because of all the things that come with it (going to the beach, boardwalk, anything outdoors etc.) but when it's so humid out that you start sweating from opening the door, that's no fun.

Heh, I don't care how hot it is. Give me a Powerade or some water and I'll run in 110 degree weather with 100% humidity.

You won't see my tanned behind out in the cold though. BRRR... F winter.

running in 100 degree weather does suck, but makes you feel like you accomplished a whole helluva lot more though. myself, id take these over the beach ANY DAY...
