You guys leave your car windows cracked open?

[thestrangebrew1]

I left the windows open when I came back from lunch. Probably about a half inch. I don't have shade in my work parking lot so it's just sitting there baking. I thought about getting a shade but like you guys, I'd probably use it for a few days/weeks then say screw it.

The sun shade would also keep your dashboard from cracking or peeling if you don't have a dash mat.

If you have unnecessary windows, you can block them out, and it probably helps a little. I have a third of my rear window blocked by wood, and the driver side rear window is covered in translucent mylar. I do it for heat, and to make it harder seeing what I have inside. Probably easier in a truck.

That's another reason for a sun shade. It makes it harder to see what's inside the car.

I specifically sought out the version of my car without a sunroof, because I plan to keep it a long time, and sunroofs leak eventually (or have other issues). Had them on a few cars, very much over-rated IMO. I have my Miata for when I want the open-air experience.

I don't keep car long enough to worry. And I keep them like a decade. Never had an issue with 3 cars.

We have a gravel parking lot at work so even leaving the windows cracked a little would be a dust disaster for the interior. I wish I could leave them cracked a little to help vent some hot air but nope.....

For fathers day I did get a nice sun shade for the front window which helps a little but the roof is glass which turns the entire fucking thing into a greenhouse full of trapped hot air with no ventilation.

Well I didn't feel much difference between temps yesterday. I've got them cracked open right now and I'll leave it like that all day. I forgot to add my windows are tinted so that supposedly helps. Supposed to be 110F today yay!

We're 47th! <Points and laughs>

Oh crap, we're #49th! Highlander is lording it over everybody again.

Maybe a step over. I think we rank 48th for education. Prolly the same for obesity.

Mississippi is 50th for just about everything, you guys need to step up your game.
I'm pretty sure it was 49th till I got here.

When I lived in Tucson I knew someone who would put a frozen burritos on his dash when he went into work. It would then be plenty hot for him at lunch.

I never crack my windows, but they are all tinted. I do use my remote starter and start it a minute before I drive away, just like in the winter.
