Good tips brad. But keeping hydrated is key. Most people won't even know their having problems until its too late.

Those $10 solar-powered car window fans don't work too well because the fan motor is too wimpy to move any air and the PV cells are too small to adequately power the undersized motor to do much unless directly facing sunlight.

It also ruins the aero quality if you're driving which means you only use them while parked... but leaving them in while parked for long is almost like waving a flag for potential scoundrels to have their way with your booty. Not cool.
