I could have Googled it, but I figured you wanted to make a point, so I guessed.

If it's 110°F+ ambient air temp outside, it's got to be VERY HOT under the hood of a running or just-finished-running vehicle.

I remember driving on I-10 thru Tempe and Phoenix, back in the early-70s, stopping for gas, and the gas station's thermometer read 117°, and we were dying from the scorching heat. My '69 VW Bug didn't mind it 'cause it was air-cooled (read oil-cooled), but I had to change oil & filter in SF 'cause the oil was "cooked" from the 'cross country drive (NJ-SF).

Yikes, DJIA down the dumper 352pts!
