 +==== harm reduction ====
 +
 +Assuming people are going to do it anyhow, here are some steps to reduce changes of a Bad Outcome:
 +
 +  * open the hood to allow excess underhood heat to escape.  Sun should not shine directly into the engine bay.
 +  * point the vehicle's grille into any breeze, if present
 +  * watch for red flags
 +    * hot smells
 +    * belt squealing
 +    * engine RPM dropping significantly
 +    * chassis voltage falling from normal levels (14.1v, or whatever you observe without charging)
