Am I hurting my discs?

I don't think it would be too bad as long as it is not over 95 degrees or so.
The only thing you have to worry about, I think, is if when they are in the hot car they are being warped out of their normal shape. If they are in your bag or laying flat I don't think you'd have problem.
No scientific process to that number but I think it has to be really hot for quite a while for the discs to be damaged.
Would you leave a baby in the car all day long? I think I made my point.
Do this again and I will report you to Mark Ellis.

Hurting, no. Seasoning. Yes.
I posted up a while back about my ESP storm, which was never thrown. It went through two summers and two winters in a basket in the back of my trunk. When I finally took it out, it flew like a beat in storm from the get go. The heat and cold I don't think will do much, it's the movement in your car. I just had mine thrown in a basket. If it's in an acordian sleeve or slotted in your bag I think it's fine.

not unless you leave something heavy on it for an extended period of time. I had a champ aviar loose in my backseat and I left my backpack on it for a few weeks with books and the like in it (it was between the spring and summer semester). and it messed up the dome pretty good. IT was really hot too. But I always kept my discs in my bag in my car and other than the one I just mentioned, nothing ever happened.
just don't jam them in your bag.

i remember this same question before. I left an overfilled bag in my car and it warped the discs. it is the heat and pressure that warp, the heat itself is not too big of a problem. however once my car got so hot it melted a water bottle, so store in your car at your own risk
I pretty much agree, but i still would not leave them in the peak of summer

After leaving my discs in my car during a 100 degree day (inside car temp of 130+) I had an Elite-X Buzzz that warped and it was standing on edge in its bag. The top of it was wavy instead of flat and it has been that way ever since.
wow
can't argue with that sort of result.

I've kept a Polaris LS, Element, Aero and Aviar in my work truck for about two years now and haven't noticed any warpage. I keep these on edge in the door pocket out of any real sunlight. Maybe I've just been lucky.

Jesus man! Where do you live?!?! Mercury???
If you have a disc that gets a little warped, you can always put it out on a hot day on flat cement for a while, and it'll flatten back out. Careful about leaving it too long though, or the disc slowly loses it's dome.

If you have to leave them in your car make sure to place them where they won't be in direct sun light.
