Whenever I return home and put the car into the garage, I open the hood to let the heat out more quickly to keep all the plastic and rubber bits and the electronics from soaking in that heat for hours. The hood then stays open until the next time the car is driven. Been doing that for years, and everything in the engine bay still feels supple, even after 21 years. Just wondering if anyone else does this, or if it's something I ought to tell my therapist about??
