When ordering my car I did not get the Cold weather package becasue i never used it in the past, but now I work nights and park outside all night and wanted to add it, but dealer said too late.
So now my question is whether putting on the sheep fur seat/lamb/ fake fur/ whatever - seat covers would look tacky. I sat in some recently on a cold day and they are nice in cold weather.

hey get the heated seat pad powered from cigarrete lighter. I have one in my Smart car (tiny city vehicle by M.
It is black, looks decent and costs like 10$ in WallMart or Tesco. Works great.

My wife is mad at me right now for spending so much time on thie web site. So now my ide is to send her outside to sit in the car on cold days and warm the seats up for me. She won't be allowed to turn the car on becasue that would waste gas.

Why not just get something you could throw over the seat when you park? You could sit on it until you warm your auto seat up with body and heater heat.
