Yes, but why is the air coming in thru the vents even warmer than the air
flowing around the car?  When I stick my hand out over the door sill or
up above the windshield the air feels lots cooler than what's coming thru
the vents, even when I turn the fan way up.

Because the air that's forced into the intakes when the car 
is at speed is (partially) routed past/near the heater radiator?  
If it goes through the engine compartment, It'll get heated in any case.  (I'll
look at my tech manual tonight to see if my guesses make 
sense )
