I have no issue with people who let their car warm up enough to allow the heater to blow hot before moving off. It's the sensible thing to do. It's dangerous enough driving when it's 30 below without having the added issues of not being able to see out of the car properly.

My remote start switches on the seat heat (at below a certain ambient temp)

What car do you have?

Buick Enclave. It's a nice feature. I only wish it had cooled seats for the Summer, but they'll probably add that in time

I have to admit to getting not only a remote car starter (so that I do not have to spend too much time in trying to pry open the doors of the Dodge van) but also a remote garage door opener.

P.S. Biiiiink - thank you for the parcel!!!!! Totally pure dead brilliant

My carpool companion has these. I don't but after the last week really wish I did.

These are the things I need to know to survive in Toronto - That and why my frickin drivers license hasn't been posted to me yet (my friend's fault, not the MTO's) Bah!
