    Must have nuts also, because you have to be nuts to drive home from coffee with no heat!

    It's 2.75 miles. It would be stupid to turn on the heat. He is in the car probably 7 minutes max, probably more like 5 or 6.

    You don't get much heat in 2.7 miles at -12 below anyway. You just get heat and your home turning it off.
