Funny thing is I felt fine the next day. Everything(including plumbing) was back to normal. I was telling the other forum I almost said "what the hell" and went for the east coast. But why tempt fate? |
and altitude of I-40. Or even I-10. I've driven my 02 Boxster thru 116F heat in southern AZ no problems.
As long as cooling system in good shape -- you don't want to venture into hot country with a "slow" coolant leak -- car and engine will be just fine.
Oh, I've done the I-40 and I-10 route more than once... 221K miles on my '02 Boxster. Original engine. These ain't delicate cars and as long as properly maintained are good for some big miles. In any kind of weather. I have pics of car about to drive through desert country dust storm outside of Albuquerque and parked in between many feet high piles of snow in Flagstaff.
Sincerely,
Macster.
