I've seen a post or two here about the infamous hole in the thermostat, so Doug isn't on drugs or anything. Banshee is just a killer mean man, a rogue cop, a man without conscience, the Barretta of Detroit, etc, etc.
Actually, I think he was just kidding with you Doug.
A 160 doesn't work here in Tennessee, too hot during the Summer. I'm using a 180 and it seems to cover all seasons, Doug. Like you, if I get stuck in a traffic jam that temp goes up, and up and up!
The 18-inch electric fan kicks in at 210 and saves me, but it really only gets to that point on very hot (90 degrees or higher) days.
