Yep, I can agree with you. Pulling our X into the garage heat soaks our air handler unit, forcing the A/C to run even more. So, I've taught (and quietly insisted) my wife to back the X into the garage from now on. It helps, but not a ton. Come summer time I'll have to leave it outside for a few hours to cool off before pulling in.
