What's the highest your temp readout stated

My truck was parked in the sun yesterday here in Baton Rouge and the temp readout said 109. It cooled down once I started driving, but it felt like 109 when I got it!!!

Ouch! That's painful. I remember talking with a customer in Phx that said this time of year, you need to carry a towel or handkerchief with you cuz after 9 am, you can't touch your door handle without getting burnt.

Worst I've ever seen on mine is the mid 90's.

There's this one parking spot in the garage I park in for work that traps the heat given off by my engine. In the summer when it's hot anyway, I'll routinely see 120-130 on the read-out, if only briefly. Highest I've ever seen whilst driving is 100.

It was 111 Degrees in my garage yesterday when I left the House. This is a fully enclosed garage, truck hadnt been driven for 24 hours. Its hotter outside. This place sucks in the summer, Im going to the mountains again this weekend.
