OMG! It's not the heat, well...

[pb3vr6 at yahoo.com (Tonee Northam)]

It was 101F here and last night before the rain, around 2230, it was still in the 80's.
   
  The radiator fan in Ellen's corrado came on without the car even running, not sure why, but I finally had to diconect the battery to turn it off. Maybe the relay stuck open from the heat?

I wish I had some heat Jeez!
