Florida is alright in the summer months.

You walk out of your air conditioned house, get into your air conditioned vehicle, travel to the air conditioned restaurant, eat breakfast, get in your A/C vehicle again, go the the Barnes & Nobel bookstore or the library, read the paper in the air conditioned reading room, go back to your condo and take a shower/bath, put on summer work clothes, drive in the a/c vehicle to your Test Track Building, wait for the sun to go down, and start Aero Testing on the vehicle when the air/wind is calm, the temp is 70 degrees, and the track temp is constant.

8-10 hours later you repeat the process again. Only change is at 2 pm the state warms up and you get a light rain shower at the track for an hour as the state temp stabilizes. And this is in the dry season in the winter time.

Summer time it is hot, humid, rainy, etc and you live in the a/c "car/store/house/restaurant climate". Oh what fun.

Tom, I hear you, when I lived in Florida , i was renting a little condo on the east coast right on the beach , I remember my landlord giving me the evil eye because I lived with the patio door wide open year round and never turned A/C on. I didnt have a dog back then.

I'm a beach bum , always been, so Im able to spend 14 hours a day in the pounding Florida sun, I dont burn, I just drink water and stay in shape.

Of all the cars I own, I keep A/C functionnal in about 3 vehicles only, the ones that Franky my great dane can fit in...lol

Like most dogs, Franky isn't a fan of 100 degree heat. So I have to be mindful of my passenger's comfort...

Otherwise I just ride motorcycles or topless and door less Wranglers...told ya Im a beach bum!
