The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 07, 2025

You’ll definitely get a much better deal buying gloves.

I moved up from a 04 to a 17 model. The electronics are amazing. If they don’t get fixed soon, my next car will have chrome bumpers, an ash tray and crank windows.

Accept the gloves, Gladys, then go for the heated seats! Talk about luxury…..the only one I wish I had in my old—er, classic truck.

You people that live up north are such cry babies. Put your chains on and enjoy your seasons…LOL….PLEASE don’t kill me!

Better than nothing.

I was thinking long johns instead

Last of the big time spenders. Big whoop!

I really like my heated seats on these cold New England mornings

As they say on Family Feud, “Good answer. Good answer”.

Still have my dad’s 1989 Toyota sr5 pickup all working parts vent windows key to open!

My 2018 F150 XLT Super Cab still looking new with 51,000 miles. (knock on wood) and a new one with same frills and thrills around 95 grand. My 2018 is looking better everyday.

Brutus knows how to make a woman’s heart go pitter patter.

really good, high-quality thermal gloves…

My ‘14 Ram has a heated steering wheel that goes all the way around the wheel. My ‘21 Mazda’s heated wheel is just at the 3 and 9 position. Love them both. The wife loves the heated seats.

Learned a few things working for Veeblefester huh Brutus ?

Not a bad idea, Brutus.

Heated steering wheel installed? Not a simple attachment. Requires the entire steering wheel and all electronics in it to be replaced.

My wife’s new Highlander has a heated steering wheel. The first thing she wanted to do was get a steering wheel cover. SMH.

gee, thanks… well at least he’s thoughtful enough to think outside of the car too. :j

A heated steering wheel is one “indulgence” that makes a Lot of sense to me.

And instead of heated seats she can wear thermal underwear

I would have just said to wear the gloves that she already has. You are too good for her…

Don’t need one because my next car will drive itself

Good answer Brutus……..

My truck was an Enterprise rental that they sold cheap during the pandemic. Very basic. My wife’s car has heated seats, heated steering wheel, and a ton of gizmos. Much more expensive but nice to have on these single digit temperature days.

I don’t think you can get one for your DeSoto.

My car has a heated steering wheel too but I’ve never used it until this winter. Which is kind of weird because I have something called Reynaud’s Syndrome which impairs blood circulation in hands and my fingers get very cold easily. I guess as I’m getting older the colder temperatures affect me more. Next thing you know I’ll have the house kept at 80° like my grandmother used to!

Why don’t you put in a fireplace instead, that would also improve the ambiance.

oh my, the above comments ….. are there that many luddites on here? very amusing

Heated steering wheels are very nice up here. But you have to buy them as a part of the package.

And long underwear for not having seat warmers.

I dreamed of heated steering wheels back in the 1990s when I had to drive so much for work. Our winters are brutal. I am seriously thinking of salting part of my lawn. It’s way too slippery out there for me when I take my dog out, even on the grass.

We bought a new venza this year, it has the heated seats and the heated steering wheel. I thought that was kind of strange, but turns out it’s a sweet thing and beats wearing gloves.

heated seats are the greatest invention of all time… ☺
