  • Californian's are SPOILED

    I've come to the conclusion that people who live in California are spoiled. My dad is out there this week on business, and I warned him that the temps werent going to get above freezing this weekend in PA.

    Then he mentioned that people from California were complaining about being cold when the tempature was in the high 60s!

    Gee whiz! Come to the east coast for a winter!

    Yes, we are complaining about the "cold" weather! It was almost 90 this time last week. What do you expect us to do?

            Not to mention the low humidity in most of CA that makes it easier to use many detailing products. When the summertime humidity is high in Indiana (the norm in the summer) you have to apply extremely thin coat of NXT Spray Wax to avoid streaks. When the humidity is low you don't have to worry as much about extremely thin coats.

              I'm never surprised at what I see on the street here. I saw a MBZ SLR the other day.

                Hey, it gets rough out here.

                Like SpoiledMan said, it was 90 last week. I almost had to switch my car back from winter mode:



                to summer mode:


                Now, with temps plunging into the sixties I have to wear long pants.

                      Last night we had some super awesome crazy weather. It was that typical before huge storm weather. Everything got warm, winds died, and everyone came out in shorts and tshirts. One hour later, hail+freezing rain. I wake up this morning and leave for class an hour early to do some homework, and I nearly had to thaw myself by a boiler room.

                          Absolutely.

                          Anything below 68 is cold. Anything above 72 is hot.
