I drive the hell out of my Bullitt, I live in Germany and comute on the Autobahn 2x's weekly 250 miles. I usually travel at a good speed 90-130 mph. As of late since the weather has been hot I have opted to wear open toed shoes and shorts whilst driving, I have noticed that the area under my dash where my legs are gets really hot, not to the touch, but as if I had the heater on my legs. Is this normal??? And no I don't have the freaking heater on. Tranny fluid levels are good and I am having the filter and oil changed in the next couple of weeks.

Good to see you are making proper use of the Bullitt. I assume the filter and oil you are referring to changing is for the engine.
