One "HOT" RX-8

This is the highest temperature I've seen registered. It was 98 degrees outside most of the day here. Needless to say, the emergency brake handle was like jello, voodoo shift **** branded my hand, and the A/C was straining to keep cool (not cold). I love the South!

ah, whatever. Whenever I'd visit phoenix it would always be a new record high. I had a summer camp there when I was younger, and it hit 124. Naturally, the air conditioning in the building broke during this time.
Now that was hot!

Lol, amazing... I've not had the 8 out in anything warmer than about 90-92. How well does it handle the excess heat?

the ebrake definitely gets weak feeling, but it handles it pretty well. nothing like having grippy tires all the time! it definitely likes the 70 degree range a lot better, but it still pulls as hard as i expect it to.

Actually, it sucks to be you. I lived in N. CA for a short while, and you guys are probably paying about $2.75 for premium right about now. That is the most expensive place to live.

Only $0.89 here in Calgary. No big deal, though.
