Hot Explorer !

It's 110 degrees in the shade here in Vegas... And there ain't no shade.

It's hot enough to melt the ground under your Explorer..

I'm in Arizona, Larry and I know EXACTLY what you mean. Thankfully monsoon season is in full swing so we've got a few days of clouds, wind and rain. A nice buffer between the two Arizona seasons: hell and heaven.

DAMN! It is THAT hot?!

Didn't your dial use to be white? DANM! That is what I call HOT!

But now you can flip it and earn money to boot, since you can call it a "rare baked dial"

Nice point Bo! Wow it must've been so hot if your dial changed that dramatically. I bet it had to be a creme color too at one point in time. That is definitely one rare baked dial Explorer! But how did the letters turn white all of a sudden?

Good one, Larry. That shot looks like it was taken at Kilauea on the Big Island, not Nevada.
