Free heated seats link

If you don't have heated seats and want a free set, follow this link to get them.

Every year in June or July I make them available for anyone who wants to get to Houston with their car. I'll gladly help you get heated seats in your Boxster if you can make it down here in the next few weeks.

Mid 90s -- is that it!? Dallas was 100 - 103 all last week and through the weekend. Hot hot hot!

You Dallasites always brag and there's nothing we can't top down here in Houston. It was 103 today in Houston, and we have double the percentage of humidity you have up in Dallas. It's not called Sauna City for nothing!

I wish I could brag that I lived in San Diego and it was 78 degrees

You are so right about that! My childhood was spent in Houston and I remember playing in the sandbox with 80% humidity. Ugh. Frankly I think we both lose. Race you to San Diego!

It was 109 here in Northern California this last Sunday. Supposed to be 106+ all week. However, having grown up in the frigid Midwest I'll take this little bit of heat any day in exchange for the mild winters we have (and NO snow). Sad thing is that I do have heated seats in my SUV and C4S.... what a waste.

i keep hoping houston will break off and float out into the gulf, but it's not happened yet. i've always said the only good thing about houston is the way it looks in my rearview mirror.

I don't know what would be worse. It rains or is overcast in Ohio seems like half of every week. Remember you Ohio trip Randall?

Half the week? You must be in the sunny part of the Buckeye. I forget what the sun looks like most of the time.... kinda feel like a vampire.

I do remember. Rainy.

However, a ride in your SC'd boxster was more memorable. Messed me up too because I still want a faster car.

Of course, getting the 550i in January has satiated most of that desire. That big V8 makes that sport sedan get up and fly.

I love the sentiment, but you've got South Texas confused with California. That's the state that will probably break off the Continental shelf from a ground splitting earthquake.

One day I will sell my house, pack up my crap, and move to NC so I can be near the beloved Tail of the Dragon. I'm serious. I'm going to retire in Robbinsville. I'm already scouting real estate on the lake.

Ya'll can come visit and stay in the guest room any time.
