An ode to heated car seats

| | Comments (3)

It's cold outside, why, it's 30 degrees!
And look, the roads are icy.
The weather's putting goosebumps on my knees,
And I'm craving food that's spicy.

But, fear not, my chilly passengers,
I've got a remedy second to none.
It's a cure for an ailment that cold incurs,
And it's sure to warm your buns.

Felt dumb buying the car in August, 'twas hot!
Would surely never use the heated seat.
But now that feature really hits the spot.
And it's my favorite. Yep, it's neat.

So whilst in traffic, you may shiver
But I'm warmed up to the core.
And envying souls are all a-quiver
While I'm toasty, that's for shore!

My car may not be fancy, but whichever engineer thought it would be neat to offer heated cloth seats standard on my car (a 2005 Outback wagon), you rock! The heat is pretty intense, comes on quickly and is usually something I turn down after a few minutes. Either that, or I find myself stripping off excess clothing while I'm driving. It starts with a hat, scarf, gloves. I can take my coat off at a stoplight. If my commute was too much longer, I find the toastiness of it all would render me in nothing but my skivvies and a smile. I'm not sure that's an appropriate way to stop traffic.

I'm jealous!! It's 19 degrees in the city today..I've never had a car with bun warmers. Maybe I should have invested in them when I bought my new car 6 months ago.

Didn't I read somewhere that heated car seats can lead to low fertility in men?

Good thing your family is complete...

*grin*

My VW came with them, too, and I LOVE them.
