Auto Temperature Control

Spell check get in the way?

Does each road have a phone number, or do you just shout the road name as you drive like looking for a lost pet?

 

I've truly never heard of that, gonna keep crashing the regular forums, lol.

 

We are not exclusivists here.

 

My right fingertip keeps betraying me! It should have read "salted".

 

That sounds a lot like us. We're on the cusp of "arctic outflow" condition at the moment though: slushy mess, and close enough to freezing to get ice bloom on sidewalks.

 

It's probably warm when you're using the auto. During the summer mine was always on the upper vents, but now that we're cold it's always on the floor or the floor vent mix. Only once so far did it click up to the defroster to defog the windows. Don't analyze it, just drive it. The car will do its job the best and most efficient way possible.

 

Except for me with Trim Two. I need to select Defrost manually since I do not have the needed humidity sensor.

 

How primitive. Do you find yourself needing the defrost much? Maybe it's just how dry it is out here but I very rarely ever need a defroster unless I park outside overnight

 

Yes, many mornings especially in the winter.
Unfortunately, the defroster sometimes fogs up the window & I need to wait for it to clear, running the ICE during that time. It really hurts the MPG.

 

Yeah if you can get your car into a garage it's a big plus. I think even a carport or one of those tent carports? And a block heater, another big help.

 

We are rather new owning a garage. It seems to currently function more like a storage shed.

 

This is something I never understood, I see it all of the time. People stuff their garage full of stuff and leave their car outside. In my mind the stuff in the garage would have to be more valuable than the car to justify it.

 

We moved earlier this year & the garage is convenient. The garage also houses the riding lawn mower.
We went from 3 storage sheds to 1 small one. We are also getting used to having a basement.
We will likely get things reorganized over the holidays to provide room for some of our vehicles.

 

I'd bet most folks garages are like yours.

The garage also hoses the riding lawn mower

Yup, it's a gotcha back! Do you have to soak the guy who mows the grass?

 

Got me
That "guy" is usually my wife.

 

Mine's self propelled and so is the lawnmower.

 

It always stays on the upper
vent position. Never changes.

Ridiculous.
Horsefeathers!
Give me a 1985 Ford Crown Vic and I'm happy.

 

Too much moisture from that heavy breathing. Hold your breath and all will be well.

 

I just filled up my gas tank! And it was only half empty. (Half full?)

What was my MPG? I don't know and I don't care! I finally broke the "Prius Obsession"... And it feels great!

A California Merry Christmas to all you Prius Chat addicts! Take a break on Christmas day... The Prius problems can wait until next year!

Cruising on...,,,

 

Thanks, old buddy! Happy Christmas to you as well.. see you in the new year, ( not literally ).
