if u had a piece of junk you wouldn't notice a new rattle or little things like that cause you don't care.

we just want everything in it to be perfect .. but we have a saying here that means you wil never find anything perfect in this earth.
Exactly....

i was using the seat thingy that cools down the seats, i felt my drivers seat and then the passenger seat. the passenger seat was hot as hell and my seat was very pleasant. The cooled seats do not work as well as my dads XLR's but it still helps quite a bit especially with black leather in the hot sun.

i wonder how it would work out driving naked, it would suck to get pulled over though, how would you explain it? "Just put your hand on the seat and feel the cool air officer." Or you could surprise the girls a the drive thru.

I love the ventilated seats. They almost make up for the dash rattles/creaks.

After a couple of laps at the swim gym, you cool down your moist body with the ventilated seats...and ahhhh...

well i mean dont expect to get freezing legs from using the coolers. i think at most they just prevent your legs from sweating (which is fine). there is airflow so its not like it does nothing.

ventilate the air and it'll keep working

otherwise they are only good for about the 1st 5 - 15 minutes depending on cabin air temperature

Are you suppose to turn off the seat coolers everytime you shutdown the car? The manual says if you don't, you'll drain the battery. Is that true or can I leave my vent settings on all the time like my a/c and not worry about battery drainage??
