    it really depends whether that counts as a good reason. for us the downsides highly outweigh the upsides.
    and yes, I know what it’s like to sit in a hot car when I just got back to it on the hot summer day. but I can really wait 2 minutes outside the car when it’s that bad

      Man, I’ll never understand this “car is too hot for me to sit in” to be honest. Lmao. Sounds to me like people are too spoiled and this is something kids say. Come one, you really think of this is as an issue? I don’t even have an ac in my car. It broke over 4 years ago and I never fixed it. But for each their own I guess.

        Probably because you don’t live in a hot climate?

        The interior of a car here can get up to 150 degrees. And the bits and bobs inside can get even hotter. I’ve gotten second degree burns from the seatbelt.

        Now imagine you’re out exercising for 3 hours in 107 degree heat. Or working for 6-8 hours in it. Getting in that car might literally kill you.
