My partner used to live a good 3 1/2 hours away and I had a little nana beige '84 Corolla which used to over heat. Every weekend I would get up early and drive to visit him. Once parked I would lay al'foil over the engine and with the engine off and the hood up it was hot enough to cook our breakfast! I have cooked bacon and eggs on my engine.
