Re: [BaadAssGremlins] how hot is it?





Speaking of which...when Paige & me went ot Las Vegas back in 1990s, in July (dumbazz award) we would come out of casino at 3-4 in morning and on top of Sahara ther is a clock/temp sign and it was 101 degrees. We went out to Hoover dam and it was 132 degrees, your eyes burn, throat hurts too. At the place we stayed, the hotel had golf carts in parking garage that would drive around and give people jumps 24 hours. We had a brand new Chevy Corsica(?) with less than 1000 miles on it and would not start, heat drained it. The guys said they did about 100 cars a day, from low end to high end like Lexus, didn't matter heat was brutal. There was no humidity like here it was 'a dry heat'.
 
Dry heat, hell it was hot. There were misters all over patios and around decks also giving slight relief with fine mist. In afternoon wind would pick up and it was like a dust storm you could see down towards downtown, Premont street big brown cloud moving westward, so we went inside another casino not knowing it it was moving our way or not. Could not even see the Stratsosphere thru dust.

When I worked Detroit back in the 80s and 90's, Ford had documented 212ºF on dash top and door tops at their AZ proving grounds.

It's no wonder that our 30 plus year old AMCs have some interior trim issues!

But Eddie is right folks!  Be safe out there.

Here is a photo of my oven meat thermometer on my dash of the 72 Ambassador SST wagon
August 2010. However!!! Yesterday Sunday August 8th, it hit 175 degrees that is ONE
HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE degrees inside the car, that is personal best. Am fixing to cook me
some tacos on the dash like I used to on manifold on long trips to and from Corpus
Christi.

If any of you in the Houston area, Channel 2 informed me that they will be using this
photo on their newscast tomorrow, Aug 10th for weather program, as I sent them the photo,
and told them to please inform viewers not to leave kids and pets in car even for one
minute in this heat. Sadly, lots of dumb asses out there do and we had about 4-5 of them
this summer alone here die when people forgot their kids in car, went to work, or store
and 'forgot'.

I'll let everyone know how the tacos, or biscuits and gravy turn out on dash also.
