well..its forecast to be cold enough to send me to the parts store to buy a new battery for my remote car starter..

its been dead for a while, but really had no need to replace it this past summer.....

how-ever..

since the forecast is for wind chills to be below  0*F  the  next few days..I have really come to enjoy a warm car when I go out in the morning...

AND..

since I didn't get the wife's new Ford Fusion with a remote starter, it goes into the dealer for one soon :)

 

I AM looking at real estate south of me ..  :) 

I dont mind 4 seasons..I just want the warm one to be the longest  ;)

There is also the cost to ones older bones.  Shoveling snow ?  

Freezing Cold achy weather ?

The inevitable slip on invisible ice ?  

Your body should be made more comfortable, baby !  Just as comfy as you can make it.

I got offered this when I ordered my car.

 

Basically Sue, while you are having you last cup of tea before leaving, you hit the button. The car heating starts up, warming the car and melting the ice, BEFORE you step out....posh.

My new truck has one. Automatically reads temp outside and either cools or heats it. With heat comes heated seats windows and mirrors on. Needs about 5-10 minutes to warm up so far at mid 20's outside. See what happens tomorrow and next day when we hit teens.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
