BillyRay Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Friends everytime I jump in my rocket here in Phx and look at the mirror and I think MAN I,d much rather have a temp gauge on the mirror instead!!! Here in Phx. we are always watching the temp to see how hot it is and how cool the car may be running. So far no problems here in the desert with the AC on and burning rubber in 2nd gear. I wonder in 2008 if Ford is making any add ons for the Shelby? I figure if you need a compass to run around here in Phx you better STAY HOME and put down the beer!

carnut Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I would rather be completely oblivious to the temp Billy Ray. Yesterday was a hot one and today I am already hiding from the outdoors. Like an idiot, I will pack up and go to the cruise-in about 5 pm in sit in the hot parking lot. I don't need a compass either, I look to see what side of the tree the moss is growing on Have a cool one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Roger Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I would much rather have a temperature gauge. Unless you are driving on twisting, turning two tracks in the middle of a dark woods and you aren't sure which fork to take next, there is no need for a compass, IMHO. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b17drvr Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I like the compass. I guess its a pilot thing. The temp? it is either hot or cold out. In Houston this time of year, it is really hot. But at least it is nice and humid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...................BRay Hey, I'm in Fort Mohave and know what you mean by "hot". Lotta good a CAI does us in this weather. Even at night, you can't fine "any" cold air this time of year. Temp guage is the better choice especially in our desert area. Don't know if it's any interest to you, but I have had Garmin C330 gps for few years and when I take a trip with any of my cars, just sticks on the corner inside of the windshield. Real easy unit to operate and voice direction. Cheaper and much, much easier to operate than the built in gps in my wife's 05 E320 Mercedes that cost about 5 times more than the Garmin. AZbud Fort Mohave "hell" AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Gorzenski Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 For me the Compass is good for nothing. :shades: In Europe you know alway's where you're driving to or from. It's not like Alaska or Death Valley :D But in Winter it's interesting to know where it becomes icy. :do what: Just my 2 cts. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07Shelby#6200 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 How about both in this expensive of a car! While your at it some lights when you open the door. And don't forget a breast pump for Jolly Rogers! HeHe....You thought I forgot didn't you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOVert Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I would definately rather have Temp. Buy the way, you think a $50k plus car would have climate control wouldn't you? If Ford could add a few more of the creature comforts it would help to bring the car up to the level of it's competitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
