We live in Austin, TX and the car stays in a garage except when it's being driven.
I don't even know how to respond to this. You believe being parked in direct Texas sunlight will somehow be cooler than an insulated attached garage?
Our garage is *far* cooler than it is outside in the summer. Outside temps get into the 100s in the summer. Our garage rarely gets above 80 degrees in the hottest months, plus the car isn't baking in the sun.
