No thanks...I'm a fair weather kind of guy!!! Just one more reason for me to hate living in Illinois...as if I needed another reason.
 
Thinkin about it. Don’t know if I could go a year with out winter. Get peved off at it. You know -35 trying to boost kids car, frozen fingers, toes and the like. But then there’s sledding, ice fishing, white Christmas. It’s part of where I live. Like in summer +35 no wind crapped out air conditioner sweating my last name off. Not so good either it’s where I choose to live.

I'm a Spring Summer Fall guy. Winter and I just don't get along.
Not into sledding, Have to drive way North to do that, not into fishing any time of the year. The only thing I can catch is a cold.
Someone has to love Winter but isn't me lol
 
BTW... so you know... Fords have heated tailgates and trunk lids so you don't freeze your hands while pushing them.
 
I was fine until 10-11 years ago. Then we went on a cruise. Driving to airport in a winter storm, then stepping off a plane in miami. A big part of me didnt want to go back to winter. Have hated it since.

Living in cottage country,smack in the middle of a winter playground,1500 feet from a snowmobile trail,couple hundred yards from the river. No interest at all.

I'm with you TJ. I used to work in the auto glass trade so I'd be out in gravel pits during a blinding snowstorm cutting glass and installing in the machines. Oh what fun we had in a Winter Wonderland. Now Winter gets me down and causes health problems. One of these years we might go to one of the islands for a month but then you still have to come back to Winter again. So what is worse?

I've been looking for those but can't find the secondary one. Must be a rare option.
But I do have duel air fresheners though. That's an option everyone should have.

The way they make sleds nowadays is awesome heated handgrips, heated visor, heated seat, heat exchangers under the running boards, high windshields, lots of suspension travel, warm up shacks, only down fall I see is it’s pricey for machines and riding expenses. But same for dart a little more so for the dart.

You wouldn’t find it in the direct connection catalogue. Only available from a dealership. Your car didn’t have it I thought all Chrysler products had them in those years
 
Yet my son loves winter. 3 sleds, works in the far north. He cant get enough of it.
I did the winter thing. Working in the great outdoors, with parks branch. -40 on a snowmobile doing trail maintenance and hauling stuff out to remote campsites. Also spent a winter grooming snowmobile trails. I enjoyed that. Groomer had great heat.

My son also works at a mine as a mill wright in the far north. He’s outside for the better part of the day even on his days off fishing sledding hunting I guess he loves it he must. The material I work with contains water so hording is required. Still gets a little nippy putting it up though
 
My son is working as a heavy duty mechanic, oxford house, wassigamack and island lake. At least they fly him back and forth,doesent have to travel up the winter roads.

i did the winter road thing once. To garden hill and back. Winter roads are brutal. Never again, not for any amount of money.
