Overheating of subjects inside TRUNK

Ambient temps are 90-100 F.

Anything I put into the trunk gets "hot" after 1 hour of drive.

Do you experience the same "overheating of subjects in the trunk"?

Porsche should avoid this is the new model.

I found this out on my way back from Ohio after I purchased the car. When I go home to Houston my overnight bag in the frunk was very warm. Shampoo and stuff was really warm.

Never, ever, put good wine (or not-so-good wine for that matter) in the frunk! Best,

Yeah stuff gets super hot in there. Went to Costco one day and bought a few items. They were super warm when we got home around 25 minutes later. Outside temp was around 100.

What's with your negative rep? You being mean to people?
I tried to give you rep but I have to spread it around first. I'll hit you up later.

No idea to be honest. I somehow got bad rep in a FS thread in which the OP scammed a bunch of us (myself included) and someone decided to give me bad rep. I have PM'd a mod. How's the car? Still loving it I'm sure!

Yup, I tend to put my subjects in seats - else it results in a rather uncomfortable situation when going through a road block

Kidding aside. I've never had any issues... hmmm but that could be due to living in Vancouver!

Groceries also do not belong in the front trunk--especially ice cream.

U'r good now. Over 60 rep points. Yeah, the car is great. Only problem I go to the city so much I don't get to drive it everyday. But I have put over 1100 miles in 7 weeks. Not bad.

How's your new ride?

CaptnCrash is infamous around these parts
In FL anything in the frunk gets seriously warm. After all there's radiators wrapped all around it and the insulation is minimal to non-existent. For food place it in a cooler or cool bag in there to gain some hours of safety. We keep a cool bag in there all the time.
