I made a two-day trip though the middle of a Nevada desert summer. In a car with no AC, and a thin black plastic roof panel. The air was so hot that opening the window made it feel hotter inside the car than out. I had a dish-towel and a cooler full of melting ice in the car with me. Soak the towel in the ice water, then wrap it around my neck. I would need to refresh the towel every 10-15 minutes, but it only took a few seconds to do so.
That's not a trip I would like to make again, though. (Having the car break down a couple of times didn't help.)
