Yes- when going on a picnic put the baked beans in the rear trunk & beer in the front trunk.

It gets hot enough to make any coolant that has leaked evaporate, so yes it gets pretty hot back there.

Well, I got my interest peaked by the cooking aspects of the rear trunk. So I just did the old microwave test. I put a puppy in the trunk and drove around for an hour.

Man, I don't think I'll ever get the puppy guts out the carpet.

I put my bag in the back today, drove about 15 or 20 minutes, and when I got where I was going I took out the bag and felt it. It didn't feel hot to me. The laptop is towards the top of the rolling bag, but the problem is that the bag is so big I can't put it in my front seat and I think it would be a lot more difficult to get it in the front trunk.

This is a picture of my bag. That zipper towards the top is where the laptop goes. I've got my court reporting machine underneath though, which costs more than a laptop.
