I guess this kind of thing is inevitable.  No question, it's hot right now in the greater Charlotte area, but it's not Phoenix hot.  And please, don't start with the whole, "It's a dry heat."  IT IS 109 DEGREES!  I don't care if it's dishrag wet or desert dry, IT IS HOT!  Now, just how hot?  According to Joe Brown on TikTok (@thejoebrown) it is hot enough to cook up some cheeseburgers using just the sun and the dashboard of his car.  First, the set up.

and now...did it work?

One:  this is amazing.  Two, how great would it be to always have your car smell like a fresh, piping-hot, cheeseburger?  I love it when I leave coffee beans in the car for a couple of hours.  THIS?  This would be the Holy Grail of great car smell.  You can't get THAT at Autobell!
