Re: When you get in the car in the morning...

if i rememeber i turn on the car for few minutes before i get in, but if i don't have time i wait till it's warmed up... i HATE the cold and to have it blow on me would send me through the roof. that is one thing i got the car that i did, it had the heated seats

I wait until the needle has moved and then use the heat. I hate having the cold air on me.

I put my seat warmer on and the heat as soon as I get in. My SUV won't blow the air from the vent until it's warm.

Other - When I know I'll be about 10 minutes I run outside turn the the heat as soon as I start the car & it runs for about 10 minutes before I leave for work. Plus I'll put the seat warmers on and by the time I get my toosh in the seat the car is perfect Chat Icon

I wait. I always think it will take longer to warm up if I am drawing the hot air out faster than it can make it.

I push a little button from my window, get dressed, kiss DH goodbye, and go outside to a very warm truck. Remote starts are BETTER than sliced bread! Chat Icon

I have remote start and always start from the house, BUT I don't have heat in my car! Some $900 thing broke and I can't fix it until after the wedding.

I start from the house so that the engine warms up a little bit - and I just wear mittens and a scarf pulled up over my ears/face. Its really not too bad.

Other - I leave the heat on & start the autostart from the house.

If I forgot the autostart, I would keep the vent off until the car wasnt' blowing cold air & then put it on.

I turn it on immediately, but I either have it blasting on my feet or let it blow on the window (turn on the defroster). I can't bare the cold air in my face..

Do you immediately turn the heat on, or do you wait for the car to warm up?

DH and I are always bickering over this.

I turn it on right away, that way the SECOND it gets warm it's on me already.

He says it just makes everything colder and keeps it off until the car is warm. BUT then he forgets to turn it on and I'm blue!!



Chat Icon I laugh b/c its the same argument I have w/ mine. He waits.........I can't! Chat Icon
