I wonder how much the magic cupholders add to the MPG.

Yeah, imagine if a coolant line burst from plopping down too enthusiastically (ok I kept typoing that enthusiasstically. Snort. ) Very messy.

I'm getting on a plane in little over 48 hours. Stuff still left to do and I'm starting the pre-travel-calm-the-fuck-down battle.

Cooled seats sounds hard to do, to me.

Last week Nora 'updated my file' to allow it, so I will note that Saab has offered cooled seats for several years. I don't imagine that they are a very popular option in Sweden.

What is even happening?

which is still sort of weird that they'd bother to heat them, but not cool them.

Agreed. The piece reads like they do both cool and warm the front seats, though. Cooled seats sound to me also like they might make me achy. I don't know why.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Due to the BF reviewing cars and us having a different car every week, I have been in a couple of models with cooled seats. It's not really that cool temp-wise. It actually feels like a very light breeze--like sitting in a mesh lawn chair. Not a bad feeling, and nice if you tend to stick to the seats on a hot day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm pretty sure the Cadillac rental we had this weekend had heated or cooled front seats, but only heated rear seats.
