I will not buy a car that does not have both. I'm with you 100%. I’m also hooked on remote start. Anything to help me get through winter with as little discomfort as possible. Other than the first snowfall (“oh, look how pretty it is!”) and maybe some snow for Christmas, I HATE winter & the cold weather. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not figure how to turn them off. By the time we pulled into the resort we were both sweating bullets, seat of out pants was like on fire. We got someone at the resort to show how to operate them. Got to know someone at the car rental probably did that on purpose and turned them on sky high !! 😞 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted September 23, 2022 #72086 Share Posted September 23, 2022 3 hours ago, TravelGirlinDallas said: Paradise Beach’s FB page still lists the PAYG option. We always spend far more than $10/pp in food & drinks, but a lot less than the AI price of $64 each (current website price). I sent them an email to confirm. I need to know what to expect when we are in Cozumel again in November. PB is our go to beach when in Cozumel (ala carte). Love their nachos. However, last time, 2018 or 2019 it felt much more crowded with lounge chairs pushed close together. All were cruise passengers and I felt like I was ON the cruise ship. We might give it one more go on our Bella cruise. 2 hours ago, George C said: We rented a car once and it had heated seats and that option was on wife was very uncomfortable took us a while trying to figure out how to shut that off. Definitely don’t need heated seats in Dallas today since we will be in high 90’s again. I think what we need here is a cooling system for car seats and steering wheels. Blasting AC before settling in is just too time consuming. Coming from NY, I laugh when I see folks here bundled up in down jackets/hats/gloves when the temp "drops" to the 50s. In the 19 years I've been in TX, I wore my down jacket less than 10 times. I'd like to keep it that way! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while all my cars for the last 15 years have had heated seats, in the winter time I'm usually so heavily bundled up I can barely feel the heat. But this time of the year when the days are warm enough to wear shorts but the evenings cool down quickly, is when I appreciate them the most. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shuts off when you turn the car off. If you want heat, you need to turn it on. Same for rear window and rear view mirrors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have tenants in our shore house until the Monday after Chowderfest then we will head down for either a week or 2 long weekends. I am hoping we will still have a couple of warm days for the beach in October. We did last year! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DW & her sisters would always go to Chowderfest and had pretty good beach weather & her sisters would sometimes stay until Columbus Day. Beach Haven is about a 3 1/2 hour drive south from our house but it's amazing the temperature difference. Autumn up here but still summer down there! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyitsmema Posted September 23, 2022 #72098 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Beautiful fall day today. My DH and I went apple picking. Temperature was cool and very windy, so orchard wasn’t busy at all. Picked up some apple cider donuts and cider at the farm stand. We then headed to Singing Beach in Manchester by the Sea. It got that name because the sand squeaks when you walk on it. I was very surprised to see three cruise ships in the distance. They must be hugging the coast because of Fiona’s projected path. We then went to Woodman’s in Essex for fried clams. Chubby Woodman claims to be the person who invented fried clams in 1916. Now home enjoying a cup of Dunkin coffee and a cider donut. I love fall! 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is the official overall HR record. Judge is chasing the Yankee & America League HR record. He is always diplomatic, being a team-first kind of guy will always diverts attention away from himself and towards the team and would never utter anything slightly controversial. He also grew up being a SF Giants fan and Barry Bonds was one of his childhood heroes. On the flip side, Bonds has said he wouldn't mind if Judge surpassed his 73 HR record and would like to see him do it wearing a SF Giants uniform. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
