Gloves work well in the Miata. The other thing is that a heated wheel would only warm the inside of your grip, not the back side. Same with the seats, reversed, actually, and you'd still need a hat! -juice

I like them sauteed in butter.

Yeah, that's a solution. The heated (leather) steering wheel still felt mighty fine, though... Bob

I wonder how much that stuff costs. Probably not much. The whole AWP used to cost $400, and came with the LSD, heated seats, heated mirrors, and the windshield element. -juice
#2485 of 14573 I'm sure... by rsholland Nov 15, 2002 (12:02 pm)
at first, people laughed at heated seats, heated outside mirrors, etc.. So I'm not surprised the reluctance to accept a heated steering wheel. I think using it one time will convince most naysayers. Bob

What's next? Heated foot pedals? I drive bare foot some times. Laugh, but they already have power pedals, so it wouldn't take any more wiring! -juice

it was 2 trailer loads of leaves this morning to the landfill. Must have had a senior moment... Bob

Now I can't find that yard vac I was thinking of. It looked like a chipper/shredder on wheels. If I see it I'll let you know. -juice
#2489 of 14573 It was a MUST by ladywclass Nov 15, 2002 (1:56 pm)
for me I HAD to have the heated seats ... maybe it doesn't sound cold to some of you folks in Canada .. but my first winter here (from the tropical gulf coast of Texas to lake effect snow country) we had LOTS of mornings where I left with temps hovering around zero Fahrenheit or below with wind chills to the - 20's below ... I could brush off the snow, start the car, turn on the seats and take off without 'warming up' the car. By the time I got down the block the seats were warming up, and wasn't long til the heater kicked in ...but I can tell you the seats heat up MUCH faster than the 'heater' ... lol

Juice: Copper sulfate sprayed on the mushrooms. Kills the fungus. Also recommended for root rot. Leaves: They either blow into the neighbor's yard, or wait for the mulching mower next spring. If my son wants to earn a little extra cash, he grabs the rake I'd vote for the heated wheel. Don't wear gloves when I drive - too much of a sense of lack of control/grip. Cheers! Paul
