What, you can't put up with the heat? I use my A/C more in the winter than in the summer, thanks to windshield defrosting. Okay, I don't know how hot it gets where you live, and I drive a white car with white interior, so my car doesn't get too hot.

OK but really though, if it's not a modern car then some lightweight heat reflecting tape can do wonders. On a miata it can lower transmission tunnel temps by 30-50F and the floorboard right above the exhaust by a significant amount. When I'm cruising on the freeway in my Miata I can feel the radiant heat coming through the carpet.
The miata lets in a ridiculous amount of heat through the transmission tunnel. Great in the winter, terrible all other times. I have never driven any other RWD car that radiates as much heat from that tunnel than the miata. Balto, you going to FWA 2018? I have been converted.
