ttdude's stupid Friday poll #34: extremes

ttdude · 01-10-2003, 08:31 AM

Ooh, ooh, I think I found a couple more bits of TT minutiae to ask about! I'm sure you're all thrilled.

If you have the trip computer display on, the one thing you can't get rid of is the outside temperature reading. They want you to know what you're not experiencing by being insulated in your TT.

What were the coldest and hottest and temperatures you've had displayed on your TT's trip computer? What were the circumstances of each?

I'll assume most responses are in Fahrenheit. If you are answering with Celsius (or Kelvin, or whatever), indicate that. No conversion is necessary - we'll leave that as an exercise for the readers.

Self-response: Low of 4 was Christmas Eve in Vermont a couple years ago. We turned the seat heaters up to match (to 4) and were quickly seared and sweating, so we turned them down to a safer level. High of 101 was in Boston last summer (I think, maybe the summer before) - heat refraction is not good.

Last week's results: It seems like there may be a few TT Jr's arriving to some lucky (?) parents. Pre-congratulations to all.

Of course, the TT usually lives in the garage except for nice weekends, and still has 5k miles since mid-July.
