Engine stays warm...

I'm not sure if this is a normal thing....but it seems that my max stays warm for a very long time after i turn it off. It makes sense that it would do that considering there are thousands of explosions going on inside my engine, but for some odd reason my car seems to stay warm much longer than other cars. Am i just paranoid or should i be concerned? Thanx guys

An hour or two is completely normal. Why are you worried about it being warm after an hour or so? Are you taking Mama's car without permission?

Sometimes if you drive the car before working on it, it can be helpful to know.

Mine usually stays warm for about 2 hours and 23 minutes, depending on the outside air.

BTW: The car is off !! The heat its retaining HAS to be normal and 100% the same for everyone on this board. Can you find any other pointless topics to post about ??
