Don't hate, you snow birds! I'm on vacation this week and decided to take a run up to the local canyons. It was like 85*+ today. Top down, , up in the twisties and no one around. Perfect. Most of the road is 3rd gear, bouncing off the rev limiter from time to time, then there is a section about 5 miles long that is mostly 2nd gear, left, right, left with hardly any staights. Total from top to bottom is 23 miles, but this was cut short because of road construction. Anyway, I noticed my temp guage was creeping over the half way mark, so I turned on my heater full blast. I remember from the old days that if your car starts to overheat, turn on the heater because basically there is another "radiator" for the heater with a fan blowing across it to bring heat into the car. Temp dropped below the half way mark by a good 1/16" or more. The heat blowing into the car reminded me of riding a motorcycle on a hot day. Just FYI. Watch me be wrong and someone corrects me and says the heater in our cars is electric. Doh! Lower temps mean more HP for you drag guys. OK back to poker.......
