It was about ten in the morning and we went to this big flea market. My mom wanted to turn some USD into Pesos so she had us wait in the car while she found a bank or some other place to exchange currency. She told us not to leave the car or open the windows or doors under any circumstances. It was in August.
It should have just taken a few minutes. It did not.
She got lost. So my sister and I sat in the car all day with no water or food and it was amazingly hot outside. Eventually she found her way to the embassy and they were able to help her find the car. It was dark by then.

I was once trapped in a car, on a very hot day (my father went to a repair shop to get his mower fixed).

@raum Back when he was a body builder, and long before Terminator, Arnold did a book tour. There was over 200 people trying to get his book signed. When he signed my book, he wrote my name, a short message, and his full name, and quite legibly. I was amazed. I tried to make a joke about it, and voiced concern that he might get a cramp from all the writing. He looked at me quizically, and said “Cramp? What is cramp?”. I explained it was like a muscle knot, and he smiled, raised his arms and flexed, and said “Oh, yes! I have many cramps today!”
