Tuck an old towel under the seat and between the console and seat for the winter. The foot well vents actually work great when they don't have to fight the cold air circulating under the seat for the first half hour of travel.

Thanks but I am having problems picturing this. When you referenced console, you mean center console? Like the side of seat where the seat belt buckle resides?

I thought this was the "holy shit" handle mod... just hang onto this old towel I bolted to the seat...

Yep. Next time you are driving and it is cold just stick your hand down between the seat and the center console and feel the cold draft coming up from the back seat. The rest of the car can be nice and warm and under there just keeps moving cold air around and freezing your feet.

IMHO, if you want to see digital screens done right, look at the one in the upcoming 2021 Escalade (Below and in this video.

Props to GM for understanding what a car dash should look like!

I think it looks awesome. However this used to look awesome to me 25 years ago:

Now it looks funny. I think that would be the future of the today's fancy screens. Analog lasts longer.

I don't disagree (I prefer analog) but the difference is that in the new Escalade the dash is configurable so it looks like analog gauges. The one you show is digital gauges rather than a digital display.

To me it's like the difference between a digital watch that just shows number and a digital display watch where you can make it look like just about any analog watch.

EDIT: adding photo of it in "run" rather than "navigate" mode.

What I tried to say is, the screen technology is getting sophisticated very fast, and it seems to keep this trend at least for a while. So a screen that looks great today will not give the same feeling after a few years. So using less the latest, edge screen technology would probably last longer.

I also don't like something pretend as something it is not. If I had a digital display, I would use its fancy graphics with pleasure, not want it to pretend like an analog one. (Edit: this does not mean I didn't like that picture, on the contrary.)
