Today, I discovered them still sitting in the back of my car. The car is garaged, and has been since Saturday. The outside temps have been into the 80's. I broke open an egg, it looked all right, and there is no odor...I scrambled it up, and it cooked fine, still no odor. Should I throw the eggs out?

No need to throw them out. Only when they go rotten. Although older eggs will loss the stiffness of the white.
Our bantams had the run of the entire property, we found they would lay anywhere and every few months we had to go on a hunt to find newly established nests. We even found one in the fork of a tree. We put the eggs in water and throw out any that floated. The rest were eaten.

They last quite well, should be fine. I have a dozen and a half from my neighbor sitting in my kitchen right now - on the counter. Been in there about ten days. I haven't even washed them yet.
