What is the warmest temp you have ever been in

122 in Vegas (according to the car thermometer when we parked IN THE SHADE in the Stratosphere parking deck) in July 2009.

As many have said, that is nowhere near as uncomfortable as DC when it tops 100 in August.

As I pointed out earlier in this thread, I'm sure that was not accurate. Las Vegas' all-time record high temp is either 117 or 118, depending on if you go by the airport or downtown. The concrete likely enhanced the temperature where you parked (even if shaded at the time), or the thermometer was off.

With all of these high heat values from the desert that we are talking about, it should be pointed out that if your vehicle is parked in the Sun (which most are since the shady spots go fast) the temperature inside of it will be in the 140-160F range easily. The latter value, it should be pointed out, it the recommended meat temperature for a beef roast to be properly cooked. When in the Desert SW in the Summer, it is often necessary to use oven mitts to use the steering wheel (or only one finger), never wear shorts while driving and be aware that the seat belt buckle makes an excellent branding iron.
