My wife insists our next new car will have a heated steaming wheel… I don’t get that at all. I want the ventilated seats though. Blow across my ass!!!

I could've sworn that the forecast from GSP yesterday said that today would be dry. It rained most of the morning here, and currently I have a really strong thunderstorm with nickel to quarter sized hail. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

Pretty dry here this year too, but im not familiar with back then.

Heated seats are a godsend!!!

"The US will endure one of its most expansive heatwaves in history this week." "One of the most...in history" Vague statement. Quantify it! Look for these weasel lines/statements/rhetoric. It reveals a lot. What does "one of the most" mean? Is it a top 5, 10, 20, 50 event? And the heat is just getting started. How can you know the true extent of it historically before it is has happened/finished? "In history" - which history (period)? Since the last ice age? Since the U.S. was founded? Since standardized temp records commenced (1870)? In the satellite era? I have often found "history" these days to much of MSM starts no more than a generation ago or the year 2000. I have no respect for people like this that push out relentless hype and alarmism and ignore context, perspective and balance. It is bad science. All they care about is their ego, monetization, and/or pushing a narrative.

Nope. But decently insulated. Even in the coldest parts of winter it is well above freezing. Heated seats ftw

Was wondering the same myself earlier today. I think there was a wicked drought ongoing that summer? Someone can correct me on that if needed.

I pre-buy my oil so it is the same all year (adjusts each June depending on their forecast for oil prices (this year is so awesome My electric is highest in the summer, it will exceed my oil bill probably for 2 months. But I also use electricity year round so in combination, my summer utility bills are the highest. It is driven by the oil for the most part though.

Heated?

Garage ftw

Holy hell! That was EXACTLY MY POINT! Electric rates vs fuel prices.

Haven't had a change in rates here

Same goes for if they give a bad rating.

Though, driving a farm tractor, you can smell the corn burning, lol! Summer grade is “supposed” to be cheaper because of gasoline being cut with ethanol.

August 1975 and April 1976 had the benefit of low dew points and solid W or NW subsidence. In the summer, it's very hard to have near record/record heat and low dew points just due to climo. Obviously, August 2, 1975 was exceptional. Nothing like that since. 100 even at ACK???? They struggle to even get to 80 in summer!

Januarid this winter?

Summer grade gasoline makes a big difference in my car.

Nope lol...

Contemplated J3ply

You completely missed the point, congrats!

Even still, the “choke” isn’t closed. Meaning the air/fuel mixture isn’t rich (burning more fuel).

lol, I love ju-ply

Electric rates are cheap here.. templeton light and power FTW

In the wake of Europe's record-setting June heatwave and the guidance suggesting that parts of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions could challenge July monthly and even all-time heat records, the climate change denial movement is desperately trying to frame the heat as ordinary summer heat. One example from a fossil fuel advocacy group's policy analyst in attacking a meteorologically sound post: In the past week, Belarus, Czechia, Denmark, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia set all-time national heat records. Austria, France (with 292 cities setting all-time records), Switzerland, and the United Kingdom set June monthly records. But to the ignorant, that's just "summer." The latest guidance suggests that the July 1-4 period could see locations in the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England regions challenge July monthly and even all-time records. But again to the ignorant, that's just "summer." And finally the ignorant policy analyst's claim that nationally-recognized meteorologist Jeff Berardelli should use the "correct terminology" instead of "heat dome," proves incorrect. It's the policy analyst who has no clue. From the AMS Glossary of Meteorology: Rather than making wild claims about subject matter with which he obviously is unfamiliar, he should brush up on the basics and put aside a belief system that is a repudiation of both science and reason. Arrogance and ignorance are a toxic combination for any profession. In any case, the extraordinary June heatwave is consistent with the warming global climate, including the rapid warming in Europe. No ranting, raving, or other forms of deflection or projection can erase what happened, much less undermine the science that is based on overwhelming and unequivocal evidence.

I remote start mine to cool it down
