LOL - I feel your pain!!! I have the same air conditioning. . .

One time I drove out here from the Bay Area in 100 plus weather - and had to soak my t-shirt in water because I was getting something close to heat stroke! I'm sure I looked like some crazy guy driving around with a sopping wet t-shirt - but at least I made it and didn't get sick, etc. . .

After looking at climate data - looks like May/June would be the latest we could do it:

I'm not too worried about my car overheating, I'm more worried about me overheating. My car only has 60/4 airconditioning and its about a 125 mile trip one way for me to Murphys on winding roads (Unless I want to go clear down below Folsom and thats about 146 miles). Just wouldn't be (as) fun if it was boiling hot.
I start chickening when it gets over about 85 degrees depending on what is involved.
I have been looking for slant six activities or Mopar activities and they really seem to dry up after September to at least April around here.
Seems like a shame to waste all those perfect days in between.
As long as it isn't hot or raining I'd be glad to go.
