Every summer here in texas it is usually 100 degrees, humid, no wind or worse.
When I pull into my garage every day first thing I do is pop the hood to release
the engine heat and turn on my ossillating fan. If I dont the engine will just
stay super hot sitting there baking. I wonder why ford has no method of heat
extraction Even like 3 hours later it will still be hot, but with the hood
up it cools down in 30 minutes. Is there any way to vent out the heat?
Do heat extractor hoods really work or are they ornimental only. I wont remove
the hood liner cause the hood might warp from the heat.

heat extractor hoods work especially at speed. every car i own (and used to own) is like that and im in texas. even my nissan with a huge aluminum radiator will be warm a few hours later. i think its just the weather down here.

this humidity ruins everything
