Can't really say how hot the buckles were since I declined her offer to feel how hot they were.

It really must have to do with something that was changed in a certain year then. I have put my purse in the trunk for much longer than 20 minutes and it wasn't hot at all, nor was my laptop or Coke or anything else. Warm a little bit, yes, but no more so than the trunk on any car gets when in the heat we have here.
