We had a new garage door opener installed a few weeks back. During a chat with the installer guy, he said that in the summer, especially if your garage door is facing south, the temperature inside your garage with the door closed can get as high a 150 degrees Fahrenheit, or five degrees over what you are if you're a medium-well done ribeye. That's hot!

Anyway he recommended leaving your garage door open (assuming you're at home) and closing that sliding screen thingy that just about all garages here in The Villages seem to have. Seems to be working OK.
