Killer! - at least in my experience. My first board died after one
afternoon in the car. The bottom swelled out into the beautiful round
shape which meant the board did nothing but go sideways. I think the
heat is particularly deadly if any moisture has got in the board.

AFAIK, if you have a vent, leaving it open would help.
