Anyone else experience this with their hoods?

I notice that when I am sitting in the car, the hood would be so hot that you can see the heat come off it.

Is this good or bad? Would it damage the paint or anything mechanical?

This happens when anything gets hot.

I've noticed my brakes doing this as well...

Thats not good. Might need to take it to a dealer.

I know everything does it when it gets hot. It is just that we have such a crappy paint job. I figured maybe it would be bad for the paint too.

Whenever I'm with Z
Something inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire

Could it be the devil in the Z
Or is this the way the Z's hood is supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my car
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Whenever the Z calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame

Has my lack of oil cooler got a hold on me
Or is this the way Z's are supposed to be

Just like a heatwave
Burning in my car
Can't keep from cryin'
It's tearing me apart

Hey guys I came into contact with water today and, wouldn't you know it, I got WET! I mean, what's the deal with that?! Should I take this up with the rain clouds or what?

I accidentally touched my headers and burned my skin pretty bad.

Are headers supposed to be that hot?!?!?
