here in the poconos I think we had 7 days above 90* this summer, like we didnt have a summer, its been 48-58* at 6AM the last 2 weeks and 68-78*/low humidity for highs. Its been so cool I only had 3 tomatoes turn red on the vine out of 10 plants with good sun exposure. I like it coming from VA. Global warming aint so bad here

ha ha, awesome. most of the time it's fine, sometimes i walk outside and i think 'holy ****, this is absolutely ridiculous (over 100 plus crazy humidity)! but, we have like over 300 days of sunny weather in austin, so after the core of summer, it's really nice here.

yeah while youre sweatin your ***** off were comfy but while youre comfy we're ***** deep in snow shoveling to get to work, and also the 8 cant come out and play But Id rather bundle up and take the cold better than the sticky south summer (Ive tried both)

Vegas/AZ dry heat wasnt so bad it was like standing in an oven instead of sauna, I could prob deal w/ it since I work inside.

^^^^ move to Florida and you'll have 90% humidity.
No problem with my 09 GT starting up in the hot weather down here. It just whrrrrrrs to life on the first crank.
Even though I have a black leather interior, I use the silvered Mazda RX8 windshield screen (from the accessory catalog) to keep the interior relatively cool and protected. Of course it helps that I have the crystal white paint job.
