Uh,,,,,,,,I'm in Hawaii, that close enough?

I DO use my heater AND my defroster, seriously! Only two maybe three times a year, but I'm glad to have it! It can get really cold here sometimes. Why last winter it dropped into the 50's (a couple of times)! And the humidity clouds the windows. 50 may not be "cold" to you, but when you live with 80 Deg 95% of the time, 50 is freaking freezin'!

Maybe it's the Excals great firewall insulation or something but I get very little cockpit heat from the engine or the sidepipes.

EDIT: Never used the heater in my Austin Healey 3000. That thing was a virtual OVEN with the engine heat all over you like white on rice! SO hot I only liked driving it at night!
