[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15778326, member: 188865"] Unless you're willing to pay ungodly amounts to live in Southern California, weather is largely a pick your poison affair. The heat sucks, but it's drawbacks are less than the cold. And like anything, you get acclimated to it. I literally freeze to death if the temp drops below 50F. Then again, people from up North wilt when they come down here and it's 115 with the heat index (and despite the myth, 95F with 95% humidity is way hotter than 120F in Arizona). Cars love the cooler temps and the heat presents it's own "car" challenges. Getting into a swamp box of a car isn't fun. But it sure beats the hell out of scraping windows or waiting for the car to defrost. The heat is also more challenging for high performance/hp issues. You're much more likely to nuke an engine in 95F in 6th gear going up a hill at partial throttle and a bad batch of gas here. Cooler intake temps are much more forgiving. A/C is a constant 20hp draw on the engine, and runs nearly year round, but it's the price you pay for no snow. We pay our debts through the Summer here and this time of year is the payback. I've lived in the hottest places in America, and the coldest (outside of Alaska) and if you put a gun to my head, I'll take the heat. [/QUOTE]
