It’s so hot that... (Miata content)

...the back window of DD#1’s Miata delaminated from the top. It’s a replacement about 2 years old, not sure of brand. 

Any recommendations for adhesive (and technique) for putting it back in?

It was so hot in the Miata today that I swear I saw a squirrel sunning his nuts in the passenger seat. 

.....I'm in the Focus with the a/c on max.

Did you leave the hairdryer on...

I gotta get through this heat wave with no AC whatsoever. Just can't afford to fix it.

Caddy will need an oil cooler after the engine upgrade - she is flat pissed in the hot temps.  Had oil temps hit 245 sitting in rush hour traffic last night.

88 sounds nice.. it's 101 here at the Jersey Shore. It's been a good ten years since we saw triple digit temps here.

I might have to use the AC today on the drive into work

"Squirrel sunning his nuts"     Best quote of the day.  So far.

It hits triple digits with 98% humidity almost EVERY year in Alabama.  We dont pull AC out of anything, lap times be damned

75 with 60% humidity here in Minneapolis..  Very much.. Good.

I considered using the AC.. never did turn it on. The temps had dropped to the high 90s by the time I went to work, windows down was comfortable for me

It's hot here too. Seems to happen every year around this time. It's the weirdest thing.

I'd stop by your local boat shop and ask them. Almost every boat is a convertible so they know a lot about tops. I know that Gorilla Glue works well on tops but can be really ugly.

I'm in eastern PA near Philly and a.c. cranked non stop as of late. Id say either gorilla glue or upgrade to a hard top.

I happily deal with the miserable July/August in Oklahoma so I don't have to deal with months of northern winter's.

In reply to 84FSP: Friday's forecast for Toronto (in Celsius) was "36, feels like 46," or "97, feels like 115" in US dollars.  I don't think we quite made that, but we certainly did our, um, best.

I typically don’t drive my Miata much in the summertime.  I much prefer it during convertible season Oct-April. 

Sissies.  I took the Boxster to work last week top down.  It was hot after work and I had on business attire.  You are either a convertible person, or you are not.

Im a fair weather convertible person, hence my purchase of an ND RF

In reply to AnthonyGS :

I don’t know where you live, but driving with the top down this time of year just means you get sweaty and sunburnt. I guess I have less reptile DNA than others or something. Top down when it in the 40’s is invigorating. When the heat index is over 100F, it is not so fun. 

I am a convertible person, just not a humidity person. It’s almost midnight and I am sweating while sitting on my deck with a breeze. 

I’d bet my heat index was over 100 on my drive home from work.  It’s actually been a fairly miod summer in TX this year.  The rest of the country is crying though.  I went to a family event in KY and our lil TX contingent was okay but the locals were melting.  Work sends me to the Middle East a lot.  It’s hot there; we have it good.

I am the same way, Anthony. Working outside on stage, most people are turning into puddles of sweat, I have a little bit of a sheen on my skin going on.

I personally think a lot of it has to do with the widespread use of AC. Our bodies simply never get used to being out in the heat.

I'm top down whenever possible, but there's definitely a heat/sun apogee index. 

You could say I've lost that baking feeling. 

Somewhere around 90 at peak sun, the top is up.  100 at night? Top down. 

Windows are almost always open, but sunny and over a 100 and longer than 20 min, AC.

A man's got to know his limitations...

I never realized the US was a tropical country until I moved here ;) Seriously, I am built to survive long, cold winters. This 100F stuff is nasty, even if it is a dry heat around here.

This is why all my forray’s into CO are in the summer.  Summers are incredible there; winter no thanks.  I’m allergic to snow.  

The trick is that you can always put more clothes on. There comes a point where you can’t take any more off :)
