I had to drive for a little over an hour this morning. I took the meat thermometer out of my purse in my house and it read 80 degrees. I stuck the needle in my bag right up next to my laptop in the trunk. When I got where I was going and took it out it read right at about 80 degrees.
I left my car parked for about three hours and left the thermometer in the trunk. Today wasn't a particularly hot day since it was overcast and getting ready to get some light rain. When I went back to my car the thermometer read 100 degrees.
I then put my bag back in the car and put the thermometer under my bag and towards the engine. I drove back to New Orleans, parked for about 15 minutes, and then drove home which took about 30 minutes. When I got home the thermometer read 100 degrees. I felt the bottom of my bag with my hand. It felt warm but not hot.
My car is a 2008.
