Why hood blackouts?

Ah. They get hot up here too, but I never thought it would cause a problem with burns. For real?

Enough to blister the soft parts if you don't move them off sharpish. Got a nasty blister on the back of my arm, just above the elbow, when topping up someone else's engine oil after the car had been sitting in the 50° sun all day. Even with my aluminium chequerplate, you wouldn't want to walk on the fender with bare feet. Hot hot hot!

Shhhhhhhh! Just smile and nod. He's from waaaaay up north, what does he know about HOT?

C'mon! In summer in Canada, the sun can often be seen above the tree-line on the horizon!...

Wow. I remember years ago when I was a kid, went out on the hottest July day on record and tried to cook an egg on the tarmac. Nope.

Yeah, sometimes it even gets so hot I even SWEAT! :Wow1: :elkgrin: Usually it's from the exertion of swatting mosquitos.
