I had my limbs crack on me about 4 years ago. I really didn't know any better and left my bow in the truck all day and it was hot. I was taking my bow to the shop after work that day to have them give it a once over like I always do and they noticed the cracked limb. Thank god I didn't pull it back. I don't think that having a bow in the car while your driving will do any damage. It's like others have said....leaving it in your car or trunk while the windows are rolled up.
