Which iPod? And it's still not a good idea, no matter what iPod. Main reason: the battery. Here in FL, one summer of leaving an iPod in the car every day is good enough for an all but dead battery. The heat destroys Li-Ion batteries.

I'll throw a +1 behind a usb thumb drive. If you're worried about it breaking, get a little extension coord for a few bucks and use that.
