The the news about cooling seats
« on: March 06, 2006, 08:02:35 am »
Ventilated auto seats can improve fuel economy by reducing air conditioning load

But my wife always has the heated seats on all year long, cooling seats would only make her more frigged :rofl2:

Something is seriously wrong with her blood flow if the heated seats are on when it's 40C outside ;)

Your wife is more "frigged"?   :rofl2:  That's funny.  I can see 'frigid' but frigged is something different altogether.  :)

As I've posted elsewhere, I found the air conditioned seats in the Benz SL to be a disappointment.  I suppose they'd have minimal effect on the reduction of a/c load... but then, putting all that nonsense in a car adds to the weight which requires more energy to motivate the car in the first place.

Frigid wife?   Maybe she should walk more instead of driving.  It'll help improve blood circulation.

Had a old Auntie like that. In the Hot August type months she would wear a fur coat and demand they turned off the air equipment in restaurants because she was so cold.  God what a Nag she was, I am sure its cold where she is now tho, Drove the whole family Bonkers with her BS especially my Uncle. He got Luckey and died 1st.  :)

BE CAREFUL who you married.  Divorce can be costly, you can lose your favorite car in the process.

I have a black interior.  I'm always in the hot seat with the spouse.
