I am planning an 8-12 month roadtrip - combo of car camping and the real thing.
I want to bring my laptop along and was wondering if anyone had any clever solutions for protecting them from the heat of a black car parked in a sunny spot... I was thinking maybe I could keep it in a styrofoam cooler?

If your laptop is in an insulated case and kept low (like on the floor of the car) away from direct sun, it should not be a problem. My laptop has survived absolutely dreadful conditions on the road. Putting it in a cooler might actually make things worse because of the potential of moisture contamination.
There are message boards laptop users, linked from http://www.roadtripamerica.com/dashboarding/vehicles.htm#laptop that might be helpful to you.
Insulated like a normal laptop bag? Or something special?
