Guess how HOT the inside of my car is??

..ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR DEGREES F!..SERIOUSLY!!..I opened the doors and Woosh!..a big Gust of Heat flew into my face.
So I thought HMMM,..I wil go get my Infrared Digital thermometer and take a reading.
my guess was off by 4 degrees.
Just to add some Trivia to this: eggs can cook at 120 degrees..so If you get hungry,Pop some Eggs into your car,while at the Beach,,haha!
How do you Guys keep your Car cool?..(without adding A/c into the equation).

Even the breeze was damn warm today! I'm not complaining though. Our summers are too short so I just sweat and smile.

I just leave my sunroof open. it allows some of the hot air to escape, and then I drive with the windows down to get the rest out.

I got one of those Auto fans,and wired it into my Electrical.
Now it sits Off of the glove box and blows air directly at the Driver( that's me!).
Seeing that I don't believe in A/C on a sports Car.this is the next best thing.The Vents on these cars Suck!

Correction, the vents in these cars while stationary suck, I love the vents that we have in the door panel, really refreshing if you are moving.

At it was so hot today, it basically resoldered my idiot lights, they all work, and so does the clock!

With Kevin on the job I'm surprised there aren't more beers on that deck. Too bad I missed the fun of building that sucker. Looks good! I was in Pennsylvania for the past few days. It was hot down there, but not this humid. Couldn't believe the temperature when I climbed out of the A/C'd car.

Actually, to help out, you could just tint your windows, and get one of those fold out things to block out all of the sun from coming through your windshield, you'd be surprised how cool the car stays just by doing that. If you could actually get something that went the whole way around and blocked out all the sun from all the windows...I think you'd see a ridiculously huge difference in temps...it'd be nice if there were some quick way like this to take down engine temps...lol...put some cardboard around you header? haha.
