I don't care who says what about temps.
When I was in AZ, 110+ with 20-50% humidity sucks just as bad as 90-95+ with 80-90% humidity.
After 75, it all sucks and feels the same.
I pulled the motor out of my Galaxie in the gravel last Saturday. My thermo in the shade of the porch was reading 97...............
I still gotta swap the oil pump and reset the thing.
30 seconds of FE352 purring thourgh glasspacks and duals makes me want to fix the oil pump and be done no matter how hot.
terrypen, why ya moving east? So many folks seem to want to head to the great SW?
I like NC myself quite a bit.

But i agree that after a certain point, your state of mind changes to adapt to the heat and you dont really notice it too much after that.
I work in an extremely hot environment and am used to it. Ive lived here in FL all my life so im used to the heat and would take it over the cold anyday.

HOT/COLD Where is the perfect median temp/weather in the continental USA? I remember years ago someone saying where it was, but alas too many brain cells destroyed by liquid refreshments.

if its below 75, i hate it, anywhere between 85 and 95 is perfect for me.
had a guy at work (contractor) yesterday get heat exhaustion, he was digging a hole for some flag poles, started throwing up and everything, now on medical rest at home for 4 days.
people got to watch out there! at work they slowed the production down and had more breaks for everyone because inside the factory is super hot.

As was said before I prefer 75, well maybe more like 65-70, its nice when i can work out side without breaking a sweat
