I do, particularly on a hot day. Shock cooling is a concern for airplanes leaving altitude on a rapid descent but there is no way you're going to cool down an air cooled car to the same degree.

I do this occasionally with my BMW on a very not day (here in Phoenix). On BMW forums many mention that when changing their valve cover gaskets that the rubber gasket is crispy hard and crumbles on removal. I changed mine not long ago (70,000 miles on it) and the rubber gasket was soft and pliable.
