Default Would You Drive Your C4.......
In this type of heat? Could you even get out to your C4 alive in this? Me thinks C4s would melt along with mortal humans.
Thank the Good Lord and praise him mightily for his mercy, that we know not, of any one who would have to live through this!!!!......................................
Oh WAIT, Could it possibly be? Say it ain't so!! Oh Noooooooo!!


Welcome to hELL Paso
Your friend,

Drove my Z across the Texas panhandle on I-40 a couple weeks ago, it was anywhere from 101-106 the entire trip. Ran 80mph with the A/C on. Water temp ran around 170-180. No big deal.

San AnHOTnio was worst that HEll Paso. El Paso was 99°F, San AnHOTnio was 105°F.

Lucky for me Betty Boops targa is not accrylic.

If Corvettevirous Trollis go there with the top down he may get a stroke.

I was in Arizona with the top down and was getting a might warm when I noticed the thermometer in the car said it was 94F. I stopped to put the top up and noticed the black accent strip around the top cover was starting to bubble in a few places. Fortunately it went down after it cooled off.
