I'm so sick of winter. I wish it was over. Anyway, what's your favorite heat setting in your vehicle?

(poll selections will magically appear without notice)

Once I get the windows defrosted, I switch mine to "face", but I've found that most people prefer something else. I almost never use "feet" or "feet face" because I don't like my feet to get too hot. -drives me nuts when I'm in someone else's car and they have it cranked on feet only.

Just floor, defrost only if the windows are fogged, and never in my face.
As for temp, all the way up until the car warms up, then heat setting is midway, fan on lowest setting.

When I worked graves and had a 30 minute commute I'd crank my heat setting all the way up, crank the stereo and roll all the windows down.
Kept me awake for the drive home

Although my feet setting doesn't work so well when I mix the settings. So lately I start the car with the feet on and then turn to the feet/defrost.

Ahhh, so you're one of those "faceless" people.
I like face so I can warm up my hands.

Since it's been pretty cold lately, I have to start on Defrost, but once it's defrosted, I switch to Feet/Face. And HIGH heat.

Oh, I have those seat warmers too. They're heavenly!

-two people with seat warmers. That would be nice for a change, but the way the weather is here, I think only a full body warmer would work.

Okay good point, but sometimes gloves and mitts just don't cut it though.

You just haven't found the right gloves.
I actually found mine and Old Navy, nice thick, polar fleece.

But after a while it bugs me if it is on my face so I alternate between feet and feet/face or turn the vents around so it doesn't bug me

I sure do. It's right between face and feet face. I should take a pic.

I love the heated seats! I don't know how we did without them for so many years.

I blast it on high and wait for it to heat up. I am so sick of winter even though it has been here for only about 3 weeks now.... High today is about 5, monday it's going to be 8, and they are predicting 20 more inches of snow by tuesday with wind chills down to -10 through -25. I hope if it is that cold, we have a 2 hour delay, but my coperating teacher says that will never happen because most students rely on the city buses to get to school, but many students walk. We are going to have to see what's going to happen. Oh the joys of living in Erie.
