  I miss my old car where the engine was so small it got up to temp in minutes even in -30 and the airflow was so direct it felt like it was burning your hands if you aimed it right at the steering wheel

    Yeah, I’ve got a 2.3L engine and the heater gets warm by the time I leave the driveway. Strangely enough the 1.2L engine in my moms car takes forever.

      huh. the 1.4L in my old car is what I was referring to

      my current 2.5L takes forever in comparison, so did my last 2.0L (Mazda3)

  You know you can adjustt the temperature AND air flow, right? You can blast the air to accelerate to the desired temperature and then dial back on the air flow and temperature to keep the car actually pleasent. I only say this because i have a friend who cranks the heat full blast in the winter and then rolls down his windows while still max blasting the heating! Dude has serious brain worms.

    you don’t do that?

    having the window down in the winter for the fresh cool air over your face and chest while blowing heat on your feet and hands feels great

      I live in Northern Ohio 40 minutes from Lake Erie. We have COLD winters here with wet air. Plus, my shitty soft top VW Bug with a busted window lets in more than enough cold air

    I know someone who does this as well, mostly because he always drives with his arm hanging out the window lmfao
