raise hood... am I crazy?
How many of you you will occasionally raise the hood after a drive when you pull into the garage. Here in Chicago, driving on these city streets on hot days can raise my temp to 220+ degrees at times, so after I park I'll raise the hood for about 1/2 hour to let some of that heat escape. Am I crazy?

I usually let it cool off in the driveway for about 30 minutes. If not my garage ( 1 car) gets unbearable from the heat. We could also wipe them down just like a racehorse.

I leave the garage door open, flick a switch and the fan on my unit heater runs.. After 30 min the fan shuts off and the garage door closes.
My sons bedroom is above the garage so he would roast.
Now winter is a different story...........Ed

I've done it.
This engine compartment retains heat longer than any other car I've owned.
I've gone back into the garage several hours later and it's still warm.
