What makes that "so DC"? Because of the car?

Lol I sit in 4MPH traffic all the time in my convertible.

Thats too funny! Here in Memphis we have trashed Chevy Malibus and Altimas going 90 mph on the expressway!

The incredible high dollar sports car mired in traffic so it can only go 20 MPH if he's lucky lol. The 97 degree heat and exhaust fumes of all the cars sitting around him and the convertible.

DC isn't an area where its rewarding to drive a car like that.

I remember we were in CA one time for a conference and we had to drive from LAX to Santa Barbara. We rented a Camaro Convertible, because you know...CALIFORNIA! Yeah we sat like that on the 405 and just baked to death in that convertible, slathering on sunscreen, 105 degrees. We refused to put the top up though, because CALIFORNIA!

Oh, I see. I don't have a car like that but I understand, but there's no way in HELLLLL I'd have the top down if it was that hot (WTF...it was 85 here but 97 degrees?). I'm pretty much done with the top down during the day at least, already, and it's not even June yet. I do want that hardtop more now just to put on in July and August, but whatevs. I am not going to sit hot in my car and be uncomfortable.

I would have been dying. I am so sensitive to heat. LAX to SB, never did it but that's at least several hours I think. LA weather is very pleasant but oh it can get hotttttt there. We keep our house at 65 degrees, we get hot easily.

97 F on 95 N in May sounds about right for DC. It’s why I came back to CA early in my third year in N Virginia. You see a lot of very nice cars going nowhere fast. Of course, SoCal traffic is reportedly even worse. The weather is better though. My AE86 was my only car and my DD in the Beltway area. The a/c worked overtime.

It took an hour and a half to get 5 miles from Santa Monica to our apartment in Hollywood Hills. My mom was visiting, she just couldn't believe it.... I kind of couldn't either. Wilshire Blvd is just a parking lot.

Dam, just shoot me and put me out of my misery fast. Haha

If traffic ever gets that bad here, I'm moving to the desert or deep country.

LA isn't worth it unless you're rich enough to hire people to do all your bullshyt that causes stress.

If you are that rich, it's a playground.

We weren't, and yeah um we wanted a house and to own RE.

One of my vendor reps lived out that way 20+ years ago and his office was a bit up the coast if I recall. He quickly discovered that if he stayed at work an hour longer, then went out for dinner and drinks near the office for 2 hours, he only got home an hour later.

I’m the same way. I like it COLD. My wife complains all the time that the house is always freezing inside.

Carfan94

I have Raynauds (cold fingers syndrome) so I don’t like it much cooler than 69. I keep my thermostat at 70-71, I have family members that keep their thermostats at 76-78 degree, that’s a trifle bit warm for me. But I am far more heat tolerant than cold!

My AC is on year 31 of operation, I request it to do 72 when it's 80s outside and 76 when 90s....I'm just happy it's still working!

If I had a new system I would set to 68 and leave it there for sure!

Saw a Toyota Century today.

That is soooo cool. Wonder if she knows how special it is. Those rims are a part of it…

Saw both the century and the silver arrow in the same intersection
