Hay Twink, we could send you with your evil pitch fork of fire and warm it up, naw your cream would just freeze. I guess you'd better stay in Collage Town Texas Where is that thread about global warming? Is there space enough there for Al Gore?

Nah, I called myself ignorant. Thanks for the info on the scan gauge. Maybe once I get my stereo system in and move onto the car computer idea again I'll figure out a way to wire it to the OBDII port.

I live in Phoenix AZ as well and the heat has not been an issue with my car. Even on hot days (115+) I drove the car hard during Summer with no cooling problems. I believe the water temp reached about 215 on the hottest days.

I assume that you have a gauge so your sure of the water temp? If you relying on the stock "gauge" then your a candidate for a new engine. Talk to other Phoenix residents like Easy_1, Mazda Maniac and 09 Factor. Be sure and tell them you don't need extra cooling.

Can't argue with you on that your ego is legendary. Your only failing is in being the gene pool lifeguard - you fail on that job.

yes, but we usually fly. I've been here for almost 2 years. -35 degrees C (-31 F)at least a couple of times. Of course it can get up to only +30 (86 F) but she can still have the fan running after shut down.

My coworker/friend has a Colbalt SS and he loves those early morning runs on the highway, with his turbo loving the cool damp air. Anyways, sorry for jacking the thread.
