In theory I suppose it may work...Just one of those 19.99 specials but if you act in the next 10 minutes.......Just crack a few windows that's all and if you have a sunroof pop that...Heat rises...

Ya I always have the windows cracked and the sun roof open a little bit but the car is black

It gets so hot in there. Im getting the ac finally checked out on Wednesday so hopefully nothing major is wrong with it.

Ya those are the ones im talking about. I read some reviews on them and a lot of people do not like them and they say they dont work at all. Some people did say that it worked but I also read if the windows are tinted it may not work

Crack the windows and get some vent shades. Like was said earlier heat rises. You have to crack at least two windows or a window and sunroof to get a cross ventilation

Yep.

Let's see:
awesome ~ cool
internal ~ interior
gates ~ doors
delay ~ wait
generating ~ ?
decent ~ ?
