Not a great idea in a base 10 number system. This is how you start to make mistakes that cause planes to fall out of the sky, all because the US must identify itself as "not Europe" in every possible way.
Science uses Kelvin anyway and for everyday uses, Celsius and Fahrenheit are both workable.
I'd argue that Fahrenheit degrees are too small though, nobody can tell the difference between 70°F and 71°F so why split them so finely? Just useless extra clicks on the car thermostat.
Celsius also has the advantage of having the 0° point at the level where roads get slippery, snow starts to fall, pipes start to freeze, etc. A negative Celsius number is clear sign that precautions need to be taken while 32°F is just another number, ain't nobody got time for that.

Metric is better, but not for temperature. Fahrenheit should be used in all but scientific applications.
