Left my film in a hot car for 2 hours, the color shift was actually wild

Drove from Phoenix to Tucson last Saturday and forgot the rolls in the trunk during a 105 degree stop. The negatives came back with this heavy orange cast on everything, but instead of trashing them I scanned with a custom white balance and they look like an Instagram filter from 2016. Anyone else lean into heat damage or do you just reshoot?

Heat damage is a gamble worth taking sometimes. I left a roll in the glovebox during a long drive once, and the blues just went to a strange teal that I couldn't get back. You can fix the cast in post, but that ruined grain is there to stay, so just pick your favorite shots and make it work.
