Oh god! I just can’t do it anymore!!!

It’s just too damn HOT! It’s not even July yet! Heat index makes 95 “feel like 112!” Typically I ride around topless from March to November, almost 9 months out of the year. But I just can’t do it anymore. Can’t go to any shows/events either. Why on earth are people moving here?!?

So as I made the tough decision to install the hardtop for the very first summer, I realized that I never actually show off just how I go about doing it.

How the top used to be stored in the summer:

Shit, I'd feel lucky just to own one of those removable hardtops.

Most people are looking for those tops now

I’m just thankful my husband got the AC to work. It had gotten so bad that it wouldn’t even hold refrigerant for more than a week! Entire dash had to come out. Before, I would just have to roll all four windows down, and make SN95 enthusiasts wonder how on earth I did it. Or just put the top down completely.

I feel your pain. I live in the Ft. Hood (Cavasos) area. Was too cold this winter and we went from ok weather to scorching. Can't get shit done lol.

Totally understand.

It’s 65 degrees here in IL. I think it barely hit 70 today. For mid-June it’s incredibly cool.

RAU03MACH · Jun 16, 2023

99 today with 40 mph wind

That's like damn near desert plains condition, before peak summer. Reminds me of the times I spent in actual deserts on a different continent. Yucky.

Do deserts have insane humidity? Because checking the mail here is like stepping into a hot shower fully clothed.

Tomorrow 100 to 103

dallas is considered a humid-subtropical climate, according to google.

You need wipers out here. Summer in Central Coast of CA. Gotta' love the natural AC. Taking the Cobra out for it's run to bkfst. no wipers, no top...bundle up 'yall.

South Texas temp was 104 with heat index of 117. Im staying inside, I do things in the morning or the late evening.

I can't say I don't miss Az at all in the summer at least a little bit, but I do remember burning my leg on the moving truck bumper the day I moved in. It is easy to miss in the winter.

Depends. I've been two separate locations in Kuwait, which is a small country. One was costal and that was 130+ with full humidity and people were walking around like zombies because they don't know that hydration is life. Other side was the high desert, same temps but almost no humidity and was at times kind of pleasant even when it was that hot.

I was in Santa Fe last week and it pissed me off! I stepped outside and was confused as hell. I was trying to figure out how they were able to air condition the parking lot. It felt nice. But desert in June!

Was in Vegas last year late May. It was 100 degrees there and I was again pissed! It was hot, but no where near as hot as the 90 something we had back home. I was able to walk around all day in that. Not fair!

I swear it didn’t used to be though. I don’t think it was like this when I was a kid playing outside in the summer for hours at a time. I used to NEVER use the AC in my mustang. If it was too hot, I’d put the top down and that was enough. But now it would be like blowing a hair dryer in your face. I don’t think my ancestors would’ve ever settled here if it were this bad. Strange how a land locked city could even have such a climate. I wonder in the next century or two if we’ll have our own rainforest. Bye bye prairies.
