At least most cars these days no longer inflict burst fire damage when you touch the metal seatbelt buckle, like they used to.

You’re forgetting getting into the car, where that jumps to a -5pts for a few min.

sitting down on a leather seat in a hot car is like voluntarily immersing yourself in napalm

I’ve got a black car with a black leather interior and the AC has recently stopped working. Life is pain.

Big reason I favor cloth seats. That, and avoiding the cold shock when ass touches seat in the winter. Seat heaters are nice once they get going, but that initial cold is still there.

If you open a window and repeatedly open/close a door on the other side a few times, your car will have the same temperature inside as is on the outside

No it won’t, the thermal mass of the car is way higher than a few of its volumes of air, and it’s still sitting in the sun too

Dude, I’m talking about the air inside the car. Obviously you’re not cooling down the whole car, but you won’t have to sit in sweltering heat for multiple minutes.

The thermal mass of the metal, rubber and plastics inside the car will continuously reheat any fresh air that is introduced to the inside. That’s why car air conditioners are so powerful, way more BTUs than your average window unit of a similar size.

If you have a hatchback, it’s even easier. Lean in, start the car, roll down the windows, walk around to the hatch. I don’t even bother doing more than one open and close anymore.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have to give that a try!

And then if you don’t have a/c, you get blessed with DoT reducing to only -1hp/min instead of -1hp/sec.
