Well, sure, and if I lived in Modesto, I probably would too :-)

But if I did live in Modesto, I sure wouldn't have a dark-colored car. Even in Reno, I have light colors - silver Insight 'cause they didn't make white, and a white Toyota PU. Along the same lines, I'm almost always able to plan my trips so I head across the hot part of the valley in the morning, or at night. That way I beat the heat, and the worst of the traffic.
