Too Hot to Work on Car!!!

I need an air conditioner garage. it's way too hot to be working on anything. It's like 100 degrees out and it's supposed to get worse over the next couple of days. this is the hottest summer i've experienced my whole life up here in MN.

Seriously if you had love for your car nothing but injury and death will stop you from working on it to get things done if you had the tools and time. It's never too hot and never too cold but there are points where you have to go out in 100 degree weather or sub zero temps to ensure you won't get stuck anwhere.

It's even been freakishly warm up in washington state. It'll cut your motivation down a little but you gotta get things done

I would much rather work in the hot weather than cold. I am a little better about working on a car during the winter because I have enclosed my carport but I still rather work on a car in the summer. I have been working on stuff around the house and cars for the past two weeks and its been in the 100s. As long as I drink enough water I am fine.

Yeah I'll agree with that. Plus when its real cold, your body maybe warm from all the clothes but your hands are numb from the cold and you can do fine work with nuts and bolts that well. Plus when you slip and slam your hand into sharp metal it seems to hurt like 10 bazillion times more than it should for some reason lol.

But I still hate working in the blazing hot sun...
