I hit remote start from my warm hotel room and fired right up!

Everything worked great on the cold drive, thank god I got the heated seats & wheel! HVAC kept up great with the defrosting and heating, I was wearing a tshirt inside.

One thing I noticed is the floor got pretty damn cold, my feet were getting cold through my boots towards the end of the day.

Agree - nuclear seat heaters and the steering wheel are a must have especially as I get older. Haven't had the issue with cold seeping up through the floor as I usually direct heat to the floor and the windshield in cold weather. Also - I have a 6MT so my remote start is my daughter - she is 14 and can't wait to learn to drive the stick 😁

Bump - how is the weather today where you are? -18F at the garage door for me this morning but I didn't get a picture. Will try to get one this afternoon if things warm up - we may even get above 0!

That is a whole bunch of snow for San Antonio, northern snow people my laugh, they don't understand we don't have enough equipment or experience to handle this crap, they can have their long snowy winters. Any temperature less than 55° F is too cold for me.

I understand - but snow is basically loose wet mud (sort of not really but close enough) and you sir are PREPARED because you have your rockin JT!

I think the snow highlights your firecracker red nicely...

Before the snow was laid down we got a bunch of ice underneath it, then it slightly melted and froze again. I prefer to drive in my wrangler that in my truck because the wrangler is a smaller wheel base.

The main problem with driving in areas that are under equipped to handle the rare unusual amount snow are all the small cars high centered in the deep ruts blocking all the main intersections. I've learned to take alternate routes while driving my caple JT in these conditions. Oh, you just have to love the Ford Mustangs (and other similar vehicles) stuck on a level slick road with 1/2" or less of snow and ice.

Why does that front wheel drive Prius have chains on the rear "axle"? Am I missing something here?
