The New Mexico newspaper told me that the temperature inside a hot car can exceed 10-15 degrees more than the outside temperature. So, in my frustration I decided to conduct an experiment.
I purchased two "Four Loko" malt liquor drinks, and sat in my hot caravan, while I did my laundry. It was about noonish in 100 degree weather. I started sweating profusely as soon as I rolled my windows up, and shut the sliding doors. No ventilation in or out. A couple minutes past. I slammed about half of my "Four Loko", and it was unbearable. I rolled down the windows halfway and slammed my first "Four Loko". By that time I went inside to check on my laundry, and it looked like I took a sweat bath, and to my delight, I was purely intoxicated. I put my clothes in the dryer, and went back outside to my Dodge Grand Caravan to torture myself for fifteen minutes more. I slammed the last "Four Loko", and finished my laundry. I finished my little experiment, and accomplished my task of getting intoxicated.
I guess the moral of the story is to never leave your children and animals in a vehicle. Even when I know I don`t have my children with me, deep down i shudder, and look in the empty car seats before I leave the vehicle. Because apparently, it is easy to forget you have children with you. Oh, and don't drink and drive kids!
