HA - I recall someone posting a photo of an aluminum test Ford truck or SUV - think it was DVNP too, and it melted into a lump of metal at the side of the road. Test failed ? ๐Ÿ™‚ Altho', it was a fire as I recollect it ... not the temperature.

Well here is a picture of that thermometer not malfunctioning (with my associate) taken about two weeks ago. And that's the actual temperature! We were there testing future new vehicles in the heat...

It's off by a hundred degrees because it hasn't been reset for Daylight Savings Temp.
