Even a stopped clock....

So for years, my youngest brother (who doesn't get much right, IMO) has been extolling the need for every car to have heated seats and a heated steering wheel.

Yeah, right, I says to myself, what kind pussified man who doesn't live above the arctic circle need a heated seat and a heated steering wheel for, really? ....Especially on a TRUCK? (Note: My car has heated seats as part of the package, but I never use 'em....)

So my new Ram Laramie has heated seats and a heated steering wheel. And I never used either because (see above) I'm not that much of a wuss and it isn't that cold.

Then the other day, I started the truck remotely, with the key fob, to let the engine warm up for a few. Unbeknownst to me, the default for the remote start includes the heated seats and the steering wheel heater to activate below 30 degrees F.

Kinda nice when one is cold.
I may have been wrong about this....
Or, it could be that I am just getting old and weak.

Most likely it's just "Getting old " I love my heated seats now that I use them :)

Merry Christmas B

Welcome to Geezerdom.
I'm just happy to have the cab heater work again.
Last year I can remember driving home from work more than once with ice on the INSIDE of the windshield.
