So I've been contemplating on weather today and if the pavs will be actually fun and not be dying.... Forecast says 7 should be around 110.... If it is at 110 and not feeling like it's cooling off, I might split from going to the pavs and just do a full on wax job on the car..... I will keep everyone posted on decision tho

One of the windows in my house faces west and its an old aluminum frame window, with no curtains or anything. Today I put some reflective insulation in the window and then put plastic sheeting I had left over from plastidip over the outside... This side of the house feels 10 degrees cooler ahhhhjj

I dunno man... my dashboard says its 82 outside. LOL somehow we tripped something while tearing down the car looking for the evap CEL i have. My body completely disagrees that it was that hot out.

But on the topic after all of the heat from today while attempting to fix some minor issues with the car, i dont think i could bare standing in a parking lot sweating. I am just now hopping in for my third shower today lol.

However later I am planning on getting some data logging out on 88 if anyone wants to join.

Just curious as to everyone's opinion on opticoat..is it worth the cost? My FR-S is black and the car is washed about every 3 weeks and waxed about every 2-3 months, garaged at home and parked in the shade at work. I've had the car a year and intend on keeping it another 3-4 years, just concerned about how much the color may fade or how well the factory clear coat may hold up over the next few years with the AZ sun. Also, the car has a clear bra (front bumper, partial hood/fenders) so i'm not sure how the finish would look if the clear bra was ever removed, seeing as the opticoat wouldn't be applied to paint under those portions of the car. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Anyone at the pavs? Debating on whether or not it's worth the drive if no one is there.

I'm at pavilions. I just got off of work and thought I'd stop by. It's hot and I'm tired, so I probably won't be here long.
