No, I did not get a sunburn by spending too much time at Seven Mile beach.<\/p>\n
One of the things that you can observe in the Cayman islands (and probably anywhere in the tropics) is the abuse cars take in these parts of the world. Here in Cayman we get 300+ days of sunshine, so they essentially get roasted in the parking lots.\u00a0 (plus they get battered by massive rain and hurricanes in the summer, but that is another story …)<\/p>\n
If you are going to buy a car here, I would highly suggest that you get a white car like me.\u00a0\u00a0 White will keep the car cooler and the paint will stay nice for a much longer time.\u00a0 Black cars, when you touch the hood are usually scorching hot when in the blazing sun.\u00a0\u00a0 Inside, the dash is literally burning up.\u00a0 Most people put a “sun screen” in the windshield.\u00a0 I do also.\u00a0 It makes a huge difference in the car.\u00a0 It keeps the inside cooler by reflecting out the sun.\u00a0 Without it and even with air conditioning it takes many minutes to cool down the inside.\u00a0 I have seen many times people who do not use these shades with massive cracks in their dash boards.\u00a0 Obviously not a good thing for resale value!<\/p>\n
Here is a sample of cars on which the sun did some heavy damage.\u00a0 Obviously, the hood and roof are the most sun damaged.<\/p>\n
