Ha ha! Thanks for understanding Spearfish, but you know as a scientist, that's how it really works with a car! I just wanted to make it clear so people who go outside and think it's humid think it's going to make your car overheat faster than a dry day. Another common misconception is the thought of a car feeling a wind chill. Sure, it rids heat faster when it's cold, but when you have a windchill of -80F, your car only feels the outside air's temperature. Good stuff, good stuff.
