Wow, that driver's seat looks awesome. Nice! I really need to do that. The leather in my vert just looks dry and cheap, and frankly a little bit like VW leatherette.

I had no idea it got "hot and muggy" in San Diego! I thought it was beautiful there all the time! I've only been there in November and it was gorgeous.

It was hot and muggy in Iowa for a lot of June, July, and August... So, we moved to Utah. We're so thrilled - I wish we would have done it sooner. It's the high desert, so it certainly gets hot in July and August, but it's very dry, so as long as you're not in direct sun, it's not bad at all. Gets a little toasty later afternoon, but I can be back outside doing projects after 7 and it's totally comfortable - even in the high-80's. Love it!

Happens when tropical storm moves up from Mexico into upper states and four corners. It brings all of the heat and thunderstorms.

While I was waiting for the seats to bake in the sun I installed some Umnitza V2 angle eyes. Also threw on my front license plate before the local PD hassles me again for not having it.

Try working on cars in a Houston summer. I was out pulling the OEM exhaust manifold off the S2000 earlier and damn near wanted to sell both that and the ZHP to buy a Prius or something.

Believe me I know Houston summers......At least over here, the mugginess last maybe up to max 4 days. Then it's over. But over there....it's the whole summer.

I visited Salt Lake City in June as part of my trip through Canyonlands and Arches national parks and I absolutely loved the place. The geographical features were stunning, especially when I was driving from SLC to the Bonneville flats. The vast flats and the mountains in the distance were just something out of a painting! You are lucky to be living in Utah :)
