Reduce heat.

I'm getting a vehicle sunshade and a towel on the steering wheel to reduce the heat.

heh, i like hot things expecially girls but tinting would be your best bet because the good film rejects a lot of heat, but then again the tint does not cover the windshield

hahahaha I'd like to see you try that here in Tucson. I use a sun shade and have dark tint and it still gets freakin hot as hell in the car.

I've never bothered, but the top of my steering wheel has started to blister (or whatever). It's pretty sad. The only thing I really do is take my radar detector down and hide it away from the sun.

Ya man, sunshades are the way to go. I almost always use them to keep the interior from getting messed up.

Because 70 or 80 degrees is so hot. Go see those people out in Arizona, and the 110+ degrees they have. Then talk about hot.
