She has tropical ancestors and is part reptile when it comes to heat. She will bask while I'm melting. It's amazing. The kid has my reaction to heat more than hers. I sure wouldn't subject a Thunderbird to the kind of tropical jungle heat and humidity that we have encountered there.
I get that. When I was younger(early 20s)and lighter(by a lot)and our ship(s)visited the Philippines, the other guys were dying in the heat/humididity. I-from Miami-was fine. 'Course when we were in Japan in February, I was freezin' mine arse off.

69 Plymouth Barracuda “Mod Top” and a Dodge “floral” at the same time evidently. We never got them down here but after Chrysler bought the Rootes group locally made Hillmans came under the Chrysler Australia banner and a Hillman Hunter run came with the floral vinyl roof.

I think I would have to pass on the floral wear!

A cousin had a Forest Green '72 Fury coupe. What a beast.
