well i learned something new.

i guess living in a desert has its benefits sometimes, seeing as its only "cold" for about a month.

i say "cold" because 30-40 degrees is cold to me...but other people have to deal with negative temps

I find cloth seats warm up quick once you just sit in them unlike leather seats. If these seats were leather then I would consider the heated seats option but cloth is fine dude.

Gettin a little OT but I love driving my Evo in the snow. Not that I have any other choice since it's my DD, but the salt does suck. Just make sure you wash it off as often as you can because it will come back pretty much after every drive.
