The problem with internet car knowledge is that if ONE guy does something that others think looks "Real Cool" everyone does it, they do no reserach themselves. Why not wrap your whole interior so you don't need to use the Air Conditioning anymore? Man some of your guys' ideas are so unbelievable. Thats why checker auto and Pep Boys have that section of bolt on garbage for the Rice Tuners. Also why is everyone one of you so affraid of admitting you own a Chrysler and stop putting all the Mercedes Benz stickers on your cars? I will challenge any one or group of you to discuss the design and building of the Crossfire but I will not let you say it is a Mercedes. I have owned Mercedes and not "entry" level ones, now I choose to drive a Chrysler Crossfire and I am not ashamed of it. Rather proud that I can do what I please.

If you wrap your arm in header wrap and then place it against a hot stove will it burn you as bad as no header wrap? Maybe if you left it there a while, but it will effectively prevent the heat from being transmitted directly from the hot stove to your flesh.
Its also quite a bit more feasable than wrapping your interior so you dont have to use the a/c. Thats a funny visual though.
