I was sitting a red light waiting to make a left turn...

And an IOM vert passes me coming from the opposite direction. Then not 5 seconds later, I see a SIM vert (also coming the opposite direction) turn right into a parking lot in front of me. Of course I have been driving the TrailBlazer to work all week because it was too hot to drive Silvermist (104*).

I pulled Silvermist out of the garage where she has been keeping cool since Sunday so I can drive her tomorrow to work . I missed her :(.

I don't see many verts where I am but I see assloads of cams. Mostly base V6 models but for some reason they are EVERYWHERE in Augusta GA and the car lots are LOADED with more.

Insane.

Mine was 109 leaving work, and dripped down to a 103... needless to say the top stayed up and the AC blasting!

The ONLY time my tops been up is the very rare occasion I got caught in rain... (normally if there's a cloud, she don't move from the garage!) However- even in Florida, the top stays down! I have towels I stitched together at the top that slide over the headrest and cover the leather so I don't sweat directly on the seats... take off my shirt and go! Even at over 100 degrees I'm loving it topless!

I dropped the top this afternoon in a rare spot of sunshine and shivered my way home..happily!! It was 64 degrees. Share some of that heat!

I live in AC (house set at 72*) & work in AC. I am not used to the heat. So when it is over 90*, I cannot have the top down without feeling sick. I do not do well in the heat. But I did drive her today even tho it was 95* out. Had the AC blowing full on me.

I was seeing 109 on the dash today and still left the top down all the way.

I chugged two bottles of water when I got home though...I keep bottles of water in the car now too.

I also leave the top down even when I am cold...It only takes about 65 to make it cold in there on the highway...but with the heated seats and some heat out of the vents I keep it going.

Ok so I am a girl who has to wear makeup and heels to work. Sweating like a stuck pig cuz I opted to put the top down in 100degree heat is not an option for me. Not to mention my avg speed is 28 cuz of all the stop and go traffic I have to put up with each day.

Not to worry tho, it'll get cool enough for me to put my top down again sometime in October...........:(
