I forgot about cold weather since I've been living in the Southern US West cost.... Reading you post, I was thinking that the clouds must be bigger in cold weather. Good hunt!

Yes, huge clouds and blue/black and heavy but then there's bright clear blue sky in another direction. Really makes the sugar maple color stand out. It's my favorite time of year being outdoors except when I'm raking and blowing 3 feet deep leaves! Here's a couple of shots of some of my guitars in the fall color. Won't see this is the south west.:)

Tim, it's a cool 29 here in the homeland this morning. Been cold the past few nights because of the cold front coming through. Beautiful Fall season as the trees are very visibly changing colors. I'm glad it's cooling off. Just can't take the heat and humidity.

Hearing about the COOOOLD weather you guys are reporting reminds me of thankful I am there are NO electronic boards to worry about in a Reo Grand. At least you guys can rest knowing it will fire up... even if you drop her snow, and water. All you have to be concerned with is juice mixture.

If you call the 120's in the shade hot weather then I guess I live in it. I have never had any issues with leaks, but I also don't fill my bottles to the top. Possible maybe if a Reo was left in a vehicle here though that can easily get up in the 150's-60's or more range inside the vehicle. I learned early on when I moved to the desert not to buy vehicles with leather seats anymore since all I ever wear is shorts.

To those of you who live with HOT weather-- Do Reos tend to leak like clearos when the juice expands?

It's my RM4 Atomic and RM8 Derringer that will leak due to the air holes, not the fault of the Reo. My RM9 Vector with top AFC does not leak. I am always ready with a paper towel if I leave it in the car on a hot summer day. I tend to keep my bottles 3/4 full if I'm on the road.

Spydro, I have my eye on a 2015 Ford F150 Lariat with cooled leather seats. Just the thing for a summer in Vegas!

No sale!!!

Lesson was learned the hard way, so both my F150 XLT SB/FS and Corvette have cloth seats.

Old crappy scan of a slide of the one that taught me about leather seats on a true desert. I bought it new when I first moved to it... full size '92 Bronco Eddie Bauer Edition. It probably still has some of my hide on the seats since I kept it for about a year early summer to mid summer before selling it. The up side is I got every dime I paid for and put into it for goodies plus extra back out of it because a gent had seen it around town and wanted it so bad he offered me more to get it. So I drove if for about a year for free unless you count the hide lost. I had almost rolled it down a 3000' drop from about 12,000' in the Silverton area of SW Colorado just weeks before I sold it. It was too wide to get past a rock outcropping without going even more over the edge with a front wheel already hanging way out in space, so I had to back down miles of step narrow two-track with a shear drop all the way to get it back out. No big deal to me, I had been a serous 4 Wheeler for decades, crashed and rolled my fair share of rigs in far worse places than that. While it had the power and could put it to the ground almost straight up so to speak, this truck was more for show than for off roading.
