If they made that stronger say 50ft verses 10-15ft. I agree with getting into a car that is hott as hell. Growing up in Arizona we would come out to our cars in the 130s. I know LA and San Diego have chicken as laws for window tint, but it really helps in AZ. We would darken as low as we could get away with, but still when its a 120degrees outside and you has been sitting in the sun for 8hrs its still going to hot. I don't agree fan is going to do any good in this type of heat, all you are doing is move around hot air inside the car. I firmly believe in leaving you windows cracked, do you have any idea how bad peoples car smell. Working a discount tire co., pulling some of this cars in, I would nearly hurl. I personally don't think car manufactures are going install this anytime soon. The market has gotten was to broad, with all Ipod connections and fancy seats. Its all about safety and MPGs now, there is some much stuff going on inside cars. I don't think there is anyone brilliant left in the automotive market, look at some of the cars horrible....

So I'm not sure what you're talking about. As Sandy said, don't give up bitching yet. My Firefox browser does not make the images move all over the place. So I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

It's also ironic that most Ford Hot Rods that you see at a car show are running a SB Chevy motor. Power to weight, I think a Windsor based motor in a Cobra is the way to go.

The way to go is an FIA 289 Cobra with late model stuff IMO. And no thanks to the FE or an SOHC in a Cobra, waste of a nice heavy Ford power plant. I'll take on in a Galaxie. At the time of construction no aluminum BBF's floating around. I'm older and wiser and would do another Dart Aluminum SBF and ditch even more weight like the rest of my cars.

Just sayin'. Also, I think the early 90's Mazda Millenia (remember that car?) may have been the first car to have solar panels built-in into the sunroof that powered an interior cooling fan. Why don't all cars have this by now??? My 1995 BMW 525i Touring has two timers for the fan that I can set for whenever I want. Just sayin’.

You put a GM motor in a Cobra? Epic Fail. Should have sold the engine you had laying around to get a 427FE or 427SOHC. Wow. You put a GM motor in a Cobra? Epic Fail.

If you don't find a free podcast entertaining, don't listen to it - and why for God's sake would you take the time and effort to complain about it? Is Carcast crowding out all the other car-related podcasts you would otherwise listen to?
