    It's brutal. I was sitting outside Saturday night and sweat pouring off me. I just got back from MA and it was in the high 40s at night and only mid 70s during the day. Headed back up north next week. The weather here in OK sucks horribly and it will be the main reason I bolt from here soon. Too much.

    the further west I kept heading the out side temp gauge kept going up, even though having the A/C on it still the sun just wants to burn up your arm in the window.

    Going from OKC to Portland was truly a refreshing experience, 68F and very light rain + all of those pine trees provide a very nice cooling effect :).

    If I ever have the means, I will have a summer home because of the crazy summer temps in Oklahoma.

    No doubt. It's horrible. Not Ferrari weather at all. I can't wait until October. Yesterday, OKC was confirmed the hottest place in the U.S.... even hotter than Death Valley. Doesn't go well with an old Ferrari. Poor girl can't keep up and you just roast inside. Supposed to be 112 today. Please Lord, let it STOP!

    Stay inside.:). KS is no better, I'm in Vegas right now and it's a HUGE relief compared to back home. This is why tinted windows and cold A/C are essential to our cars. I once tried to daily drive a 1970 Porsche 911T with no A/C, that didn't last long once summer hit.

    The only place tolerable right now is on the lake with a cold beer in my hand.

    I'm hoping the October c&c OKC will bring out the older Italians, that'll be about the time the heat really breaks for the year.

    I will never go through that place again, that US287 is speed trap central. This highway runs north to south from Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas. Total mistake.

    Unmarked tribal police cars.
    Bent rims.
    Pulled over for going 63 in a 60

    Passed through a town called *Dumas*Tx turned out to be a cattle town and oh my god, the car smelled awaful the next morning took 2 visits to the car wash to get the smell out of the car.

    My clothing was not even worth saving, tossed all of it bought new threads after that.

    Dude, I picked up a customers car in Denver, drove down to Galveston to drop it off at RO-RO service to send Rotterdam, my god it was hot and painful.


    all I can say was my stop over at this place in North Houston.

    I didnt even get up the next AM it was just such good stay.


    I headed down to Galveston, my god it was 83F at 5:30am at the beach in Galveston.
