When I win the lottery

I am going to buy myself a new car. Not just any car, it's got to have a heated drivers seat. Until then I will just have to content myself with green-eyed jealousy of some burdz on the internets.

Sheepskin seat covers are cheaper, and a hell of a lot safer.; Friday, October 23, 2009 10:42:00 PM

the car i've got now has fairly cozy seats, but the heater doesn't work for crap. that's because it's got a hugely efficient radiator, which given the climate here, is more useful, but i hate hate hate being cold.; Friday, October 23, 2009 11:13:00 PM

twif said...: i've had heated seats for the past 9 years. not giving them up. can't say i've ever had any safety concerns in either car. they're especially handy in the old saturn, since it's got leather (chilly in the winter, that). new car (forester) has a windshield de-icer too, which i expect to come in handy with the lack of a parking garage at work.

i find them not only handy in the winter, but also as a psuedo-heating pad when my lower back decides to misbehave.; Thursday, November 05, 2009 10:56:00 AM
hipparchia said...: twiffer!

yes, the heating pad function for back problems is an added feature i'd make full use of. i've been known to go out and sit in my car in the middle of a summer afternoon just for that reason when the seats are heated by passive solar [so environmentally correct of me!]

but what is this de-icer of which you speak?; Thursday, November 05, 2009 9:56:00 PM
hipparchia said...: bryan, that's why i'd have just the drivers side heated. i'm pretty sure i'd end up toasting some poor soul too if i had more than one control to choose from.; Thursday, November 05, 2009 9:58:00 PM
