Today I gave her a good wash using the pressure washer. Spent a lot of time cleaning the wheels, got overheated, and pushed her back into the garage. A rather uneventful day. I wanted to take her out for a drive but by the time I finished teaching a class it was raining. No way she was coming out in that weather. Hopefully I can take her out tomorrow.

And running her hard , could damage the engine . What NicKey communicated to me .
So this is our so called winter, so when the temperatures are under or around 100 degrees, she's parked . Happy Motoring to the rest of you all

Fran , the Asphalt is so hot above 100 and being in a heat wave above 110 , I'm surprised it doesn't melt the tires .

detonation and sh*tty 91octane are a thing with Maricopa county summer driving

Idaho is the same in summer, 91 octane, altitude, and 100 degree Temps

"Heatwave", heh... it's the end of July, what do we expect. Also, to paraphrase from a tire thread here, the temperature status doesn't even flip from NORMAL to WARM till the tires reach 147 degrees. The rubber won't melt from just driving over warm asphalt.

Beautiful and, considering the fate of the Camaro, poignant. I'd print it, frame it and hang it in my garage if I were you.
