get sun shades for your windshield. I really like the collapsable kind. Reduces the temp by a ton.

Both. I keep mine down in the garage (underground) at work since I have to badge in and out. But at home in the garage they stay up.

Sometimes. Depends on a number of factors - time of year, weather forecast, shade, locale....

I've tried leaving windows cracked, or the moon roof popped up, and it doesn't feel any cooler in the car. So I just quit doing it.

Plus, living in the Midwest, a thunderstorm can pop out of nowhere. So it's a risk.

Yup, just a small bit, and the sunroof open. If I can, I try to park under a tree with the moonroof open.

yes, unless it's supposed to rain. I'm getting some of those window thingies though so you can keep the windows cracked without getting rain in.

You'll quit that as soon as a bird sh!ts on your seat. :p

Seriously, though, I quit parking under trees. The bird crap and sap is just too damn hard to clean.

I leave the windows open only when I expect to stay very little. In all other cases, I close the windows completely

My car sucks and doesn't even have AC. Despite that, I don't leave the windows cracked. I just get in and tough it out. The only thing I hate is when my steering wheel goes nuclear on me, hard to steer when it is too hot to grip.

my 2001 Mongoose Sniper Pro freestyle bike comes fully equipped with nothing to shield me from the elements. And no one has taken my bike yet since I don't lock it when I bike to work :D

No..it's been raining (hard) almost every day here -- and I have a 20% tint, so it's not as bad as it could be. =)
