Anyone else's external temp thermometer always read high? It's kind of annoying and embarrassing. Mine is always at least 10 degrees over.

Not the case with my car. It will ALWAYS read higher, even at night, in my garage, etc. I first noticed it on a hot day when everyone was posting pics of their car thermometers on Facebook and mine was like 10+ degrees higher than everyones. Now I notice, it literally is NEVER accurate. People have given me shit, "why does your car say 121 degrees outside?" A lot of my friends have therms and they are pretty accurate.

Not that embarrassing, more of a joke, but still a junk feature.

Mine reads spot on.. It always reads the same as all the banks who have thermometers on their signs.

Mine read 122 yesterday sitting under a covered car wash. It was just over 100 in my state though, but still. I wonder if it's just mine that is off.
