Tip for summertime garage mechanics

[autobonrun]

I've been doing quite a bit of work on my car this summer in a very hot garage. Usually, I have the fan directed at me during the work. I tried placing a fan at the front of my car as soon as I arrived and letting the air flow beneath the car for a while before closing the garage door. It did wonders for removing a major heat source from the garage. It works equally well on front engine cars. You can actually feel the engine heat stop rising and get pushed along with the exhaust heat out the open door. Really helps keep the garage somewhat cooler.
