Replying to: backy (Jan 12, 2009 9:40 am) There was an invention within the recent past (speaking of technology like keyless start) that helps drivers who need to drive a cold car on days like this. It's called Coat, Hat, Gloves. Works very well!   Ah, had not thought of this archaic "warm the car up" practice really being about babying the driver and not the vehicle.   Of course, I'm somewhat coddled myself with an attached garage on the really cold days it is maybe ~20 degrees warmer in there than outside.

Replying to: bhmr59 (Jan 10, 2009 8:57 pm) Not at all....just using the interior size to make a point. Although, the exterior dimensions of the Vette could be close to a midsize.....I'm not really sure.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Jan 12, 2009 9:47 am) I can take it. I just don't like it!! If my wife was not big into snow sports (skiing/snow boarding) and all my family were not up here, I would be looking to migrate my flock down south.   C'mon down. I'll have a glass of sweet tea waiting for ya.

Replying to: gooddeal2 (Jan 11, 2009 6:31 pm) Well then we almost left the "keys" in the car unlocked.   Regardless, it's a poor system. I do know that because I did spend 4 days with the car. Replies to this message: mz6greyghost (Jan 13, 2009 5:03 am)

Replying to: thegraduate (Jan 12, 2009 9:08 am) With forecast lows this week as low as 8 degrees as far south as Birmingham, AL... I'm beginning to be glad I don't live any further north!!   I've been waking up to sub-freezing temperatures the last few days. I am sooo thankful for the best invention since cars were invented:   Seat warmers!!! Best thing ever on a cold morning!

Replying to: backy (Jan 12, 2009 10:56 am) '05 Sonata GLS Special Value edition has cloth seats and heated front seats.   In CT we don't have it as cold as MN or WS, but for me once it gets below 50*, it's time to turn on the heated seats. I only drive a little under 3 miles to work so the heated seats are a god send. Automatic climate control starts throwing some heat after about 1 miles, unless zero-like temps, but it takes longer for heated air to warm the cabin than it takes the seat to warm my body.   Where is all this man-made global warming? If it's not a hoax and if everyone warmed up their car for a half hour, that would have done a lot to moderate the last few winters. Maybe, just maybe, solar activity has something to do with global cooling or global warming. (The globe has actually cooled since 1998.)

Replying to: bhmr59 (Jan 12, 2009 8:03 pm) ...but for me once it gets below 50*, it's time to turn on the heated seats.   I did that sometimes on my BMW, except I had to keep the settings low or it would actually get too hot when I was wearing shorts--which I sometimes do until it gets into the 20s.   Seat heaters in a cloth seat when it's just below 50? What is the world coming to...

Replying to: bhmr59 (Jan 12, 2009 8:03 pm) Wednesday it's supposed to get down to 32 degrees here in South Louisiana, so I might actually use the seat heater tomorrow, and Wed. It's nice to have, when you need it. Replies to this message: jeffyscott (Jan 13, 2009 6:10 am) thegraduate (Jan 13, 2009 8:06 am) aviboy97 (Jan 13, 2009 9:02 am)
