The car is going to stay in NJ. (at least thats the plan now) And its not THAT bad out here my contour has held up pretty good. I bought it in phoenix and the guy kept it garaged. The past 3 years i owned it the paint has held up ok and i only have end spot covered parking, and bakes in the sun while im at work. No cooling prob expect for when my serp belt broke and on my 2nd set of tires in 50K miles.
A bigger concern is takin' car of windshield cracks right away because the heat makes them spread pretty fast.
