Might be paranoid?
How do I cool my garage to 115?

I checked mine it was over 125 !! after I pulled the car inside & it sat awhile... working on a way to add ventilation, it's not as hard on the car as all the other stuff (liquids) that are stored there.

No worries. My garage gets 125 when it is 113 outside. Had my Coupe since purchased new in Dec 2010. Not an issue. (Mojave Desert).

I have been thinking about something like this. Any pictures? How big is your garage?
send me your email address and I'll take some pictures and send them to you. My garage is large enough for the 2 corvettes and the harley and has high ceilings. While it won't get cold inside, it makes a big difference. I may upgrade to a 12000 BTU.
