Too damn hot. If that's how you roll, cool. Don't expect me to understand it.

It's always time for BBQ. It's winter back here in Brazil, and I'm willing to go to a BBQ steakhouse...

In my part of northern Arizona, it's warm enough in the Summer months to get better fuel economy AND not so hot that I need to use AC when commuting.
