Here comes the physics question of the day...

Since these cars tend to run hot anyway...

And since a lot of heat seems to come into the footwells...

IF we stop the heat from dissipating in this fashion, 

Where is it going to go? Will the engine end up running hotter??

(This would be a Ray Gibbons question... I sure miss his input.)
