LB,

I have to agree with Frodo. No matter what year you have, our OEM muffler does an amazing job of baking the rear trunk. I would keep the laptop upfront just to make sure. I have my laptop either in the front passenger seat or in the front trunk.

Yes it gets very warn in there. I have been pondering a hot meal I could "cook" in the trunk on the way to some quaint picnic spot. Think there is a market for a "cooking in your trunk" cook book?

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.
