My workaround:
If it's going to be over 95 degrees, I don't drive the 914. But it's for my comfort - not for engine cooling reasons.

If you live in Midtown why are you taking the subway?


I work in Hackensack so I got a 1.5 hour commute to go 20 miles. I seriously need to find a place to live out here. The commute and the tolls are killing me. My tolls a month would pretty much pay for an apartment.

Heatwave??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

you guys call that a heatwave? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

went through Baker California a couple of weeks ago, the temp read 125 degrees. The motorhome's outside temp guage at one point read 134! Now THAT is a heatwave. Literally felt like a hairdryer blowing at your face. The desert sucks in the summer, but heavenly during the fall, early winter and spring.

Its only 92 here with 53% humidity. Although it will rain this afternoon and crank that humidity up to 100% then life will suck.

AS for engine temps, if the cooling system is designed properly you should see no increase in operating temperatures.

Live @ 39th/Lex, work a block north of WTC... Subway is the only way to go & the Fulton St station has no AC... It's brutal on the way home - like a toaster oven on the platform. Lots of the platforms are like that but the trains' AC does provide some relief.

When I worked in Manhattan I pretty much road a bike all the time to get everywhere. I lived in The Gardens over in Forest Hills. Now that was a nice place to live. I miss it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)




Yeah Ray if you know a good place to look for a small farm or cottage hook me up. I don't have much luck with craigslist. Everything listed is for people commuting to NYC. Something within 20 miles of hackensack would probably be best. Think I mentioned this to you before.
