Default It's getting hot!

I just moved to Texas recently, and it gets really freakin warm during the day around here. When I'm at work, I have to park my car out in the sun, so I was looking around for one of those sun reflectors that you put in the windshield. Anyone know of anywhere particular I should look for one of those things? And should it be fit for a corvette, or will anything do the trick?

You can buy the Corvette custom fit, Corvette taxed ones and it is all hype. Get the generic one from wherever you want. I have those ones that fold up into circles for easy stowage behind the passenger seat. Pop them open and they fit the windshield just fine.

I had a large one that has the side window part. Run the elastic with suction cup outside the top of the side window and stick it on the roof. Close the door. Now you have some real sunlight blocking.

I have one that I bought from Brookstone. Can't remember the size (Lg or XL), but I do have to put down the visors to hold it in place. Does the job...

Try Sam Walton or his heirs.

They have several kinds.
