How does this work? I have AC in my car but as soon as I turn the engine off it won't work anymore, gradually getting hotter. I don't suppose people just leave their engine running?

When I’ve take long road trips with my cats, I always plan to stop for one good meal typically at a place like Cracker Barrel. Yes, I just leave my car running so it stays cool. It usually take 20-30 minutes to eat and be back out. Gotta do what I gotta do.

But do you leave the car when you leave it running?

Yeah. I try to park under shade and in view from a window in the back. Then I try to sit where I can see my car, which isn’t always possible. But yes, I leave my car running with the cats in it while I eat. No other option when driving across Texas in July.

Okay cool! Sounds scary to leave your car alone without locking it burt I get why you have to do it that way!

I would imagine that most who do this have a spare key or a keypad on their door. The few times I’ve “warmed” my car in my driveway before work, I start it, lock it, and use my spare to unlock it when I’m ready to leave.

I can't lock my car when there's a key inside :D

Well shit, that sucks! I can lock mine with the key in the ignition only if I use the other key fob outside of the car with the doors already closed. Better than being able to lock keys in the car without a spare available though!

Well I don't mind, it's made that way so you can never lock your keys inside. In Belgium barely any car can be locked with the keys inside I think.
