I got home recently and found that a neighbor's car was parked perfectly so that the sunlight was bouncing off their windshield and was focusing the sunlight perfectly on my car as it sat in the garage. I took a video of the heat distortion off the car as it was focused on my garage wall. Virtually all of the heat seemed to be pouring out of rear wheel wheels, largely due to the exhaust I guess. I didn't see nearly as much when I looked for the heat rising from the back center (the second part of the video... you have to look more closely). Note that the engine fan was NOT running.

Anyway, here's a short video... I thought it was a little interesting:

That's pretty cool! Nice catch.

LexVan

That is cool.

Bishop200

Very cool, or hot, depending on your point of view

CSK 911 C4S

I like the cars silhouette.

It's how I warm the garage on Autumn day.

Hmm, I have a thermal imager (attached to my iPhone). I will make a thermal video after driving the car - this should be interested...

StormRune

Yeah, I guess it really does show off the 4S hips!

That certainly will be interesting... I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

That video is incredibly crisp. What did you record it with?

Hot car, cool bike

That was taken with just an iPhone 6S. It seems to work pretty well in bright light... and focused sunlight seems to be just its thing!

Thanks! Every time I think I'm retiring from bikes completely... its not too long before another manages to sneak back into my life. I got this one to be able to ride with my son now that he has his first sport bike. At least it is a less expensive addiction than Porsches!

I rode a 600RR for five years with some local racing as well, even the new 300's look sleek and like a lot of fun but I'm getting my son hooked on four wheel gearhead toys. I like Porsche his eye strays to Lamborghini, but at 14 I can forgive him lol
