[Tigers] Does it ever end - in Caifornia-Black cars.

[vegaslegal at aol.com]

Part of my practice is representing motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers.? Do not take this to necessarily relate to any manufacturer that is or has been a client of mine, but the black vehicle subject has real consequences in the true desert.? On some large SUV's the combination of heat here in Las Vegas affecting engine dynamics and body heat retention?due to the color of the vehicle (black/black cherry/etc) render the HVAC system incapable of?cooling the interior of the car in August to the satisfaction of the owner.? The light colored SUV's do not suffer the same problem, and it appears to largely affect only hypersensitive owners that want their interior at below 75 even when it's 111 outside.? It?does, nonetheless, result in constant claims by the customers that the air conditioner is 'broken,' and a requirement that the air be on full?during those periods just to make the interior marginally comfortable.?????

Black Cars:  Didn't the Mythbusters take this one on a couple years
back?  IIRC, they found only a minimal difference in internal
temperatures for two cars, one white, one black, sitting in the sun all
day.  Could this story be related to our proximity to 4/1?
