Isn't a seat heater what you call your ass? It's 98.6 degrees, it will get that seat plenty warm in a few minutes.

would have to do some math but when combining all the FRS, BRZ Premiums and base 86s together I would be willing to bet that cloth seats are in an overwhelming majority of the twins.

Oh, OK. Waay back in the day, we wore "car coats" in cars in the wintertime. Car coats were long (3/4 length) heavy coats that would be under ones butt as they sat in the car.

Later on, some of us would make a seat cushion/cover out of wool sheep skin (yes, REAL sheep skin from sheep raised on our farm).

These days, I just get into the seat and drive off, feeling lucky I was able to get both legs inside the car. -

When I was in Australia in the late '70s I brought back a jar of vegemite because I just couldn't verbally describe how disgusting it is. That and musk flavored LifeSavers candies.

The only exposure I have had to it was a small tin out of an eight year old Australian ration pack. It doesn't get better with age I assure you.
