With a heatwave covering most of the United States, I figured I'd share this little tip. Even if you don't time it perfectly, your car will have spent some time in the shade while you were doing whatever.
This doesn't really apply to situations where you're only parked for an hour or less. But, if your going to the beach, an amusement park or any place with a large, uncovered parking lot, this can save you from getting into a scorching hot car, branding yourself with a seatbelt or burning off your finger prints on a black steering wheel.
