Do you guys think parking your hot car in the garage has any negative effects on your car? Should you let it cool off outside prior to parking in the closed garage? Just wanted to see what y'all think…

 

Nope. Been doing it for many moons.

 

Everyone wih a garage does this. Everyday they drive

 

... since before time began. lol

 

Lol... I was really questioning the reason for this thread, then you confirmed it... Lol

 

What kind of negative effects? If your car is full of ice and road salt, parking it in a contained area and just letting it steam away might cause some corrosion issues. But that's about it I'm thinking.

 

But not in Tampa Florida...

 

What about the gas tank exploding from trapped heat?

 

Nope not going to happen. Not here anyway.

 

That would mean the garage is burning to create enough heat for the explosion, so I would not park the Mustang in there to start with

 

Yeah you're probably right...

 

A friend of mine was flying Grumman tbm's on forest fire service. One pilot got sucked into a hot spot ended upside down in the trees. The tail broke and the rudder cables pulled the rudder pedals tight and jammed his feet, couldn't get out. Fortunately the redardent load partial opened and gave him some cool but the gas in the wing tanks was boiling. They got him out and no big boom. not going to happen in the garage

 

Unless it does

 

The only issue I ever had is when my dumba** cat got into the garage after I got home from work and ran under my car after an hour drive home from work. I thought for sure he was going to catch fire or at least burn off all of the fur on his back. Fortunately he survived unscathed.

 

You're more likely to burn your house down from an electrical problem starting a car fire in your garage than the hot garage having negative affects on the car being parked in there while still hot.

Seriously though, that's the only thing that scares me. Considering I've seen somebody's vehicle catch fire just randomly in the parking lot where I work and burn to the ground, that would really stink for that to happen in my garage!

 

i've never ever ever heard of a problem with parking a hot car in the garage...however, do not leave a hot babe in the garage, or in the car...in the garage.

 

The only problem with that is the garage gets hotter from the car, I usually open a window and open the hood also I put a fan on.

 

the only issue is if you start your garage on fire.

 

You need to keep it in the garage until it cools down, until the police stop looking for it.

 

Doing so will also help reduce global warming!
