Awl,
Just a little ditty here, for those of you who actually use your garage for your *car*--wow, what a novel idea!! My garage is actually the basement of my house, and when I was foolish enough to actually use it for the cars, I noticed the following: When I brought the cars in in the winter, the house got warmer! In summer, the house got miserable! And, my garage, despite being in the basement, is really fairly remote from the "house proper". wow..... Then, it made sense: a hot car is like a gigantic radiator, very high temp,
*very large mass*, adding boucou heat-- M x C x delta T, for the chemistry peeple. I'm sure this saved a cupla bucks a month--when I was silly enough to park my cars in the garage. :) Now, how bout dat motorcycle in the living room.....
