in the wrong stuff? <\/p>\n<p>It was damn cold on our <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>trip<\/strong> today\u2026 14 degrees on the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>car<\/strong> temp gauge and that was till we got north of Wichita and there it dropped to 12 degrees\u2026 till we hit Limon and it was 21 degrees there?<\/p>\n<p><a
