A car with no heat up north?
What are some game plans,to and from?
I don't understand what you are asking?
Sorry,when it's so cold 20's,how do you plan in what to keep you warm for drive time ,and also for work?Originally Posted by Bob S
huh?......
Down, lots and lots of down.
I'm sorry, I think we aren't sure what you are asking--although FD is right, down will certainly keep you warm no matter what!
Why does your car not have heat? Change the thermostat, they cost five bucks. If you don't know how then you really need to learn. In REALLY cold weather you can place tin foil on the front of the heater, a bit at a time so you don't overheat the engine. You also need to check the fan clutch to see if it is working.
...sounds like the heater is shot - or by-passed. FD is right - lots of down!
Seems an odd questions to be asked by someone with a location listed as Florida.
I'd worry about how to keep the windshield from fogging up if the heat wasn't working.
Some have no money to fix or it just went out.
FL boy,may need more down....but how do you people deal with this up north?
..or you've blown a head gasket. Or there's an air pocket in the coolant system. ow long haven't you had heat? Either way, I'd get that fixed. Are you going on a long trip or just commuting?
My wife drives an old VW bus which has virtually no heat, even when it's working fine. Lap blankets work wonders when used with your hats and gloves and a good warm coat. Insulated cover-alls will keep you toasty too. Also, you can purchase 12 volt seat heating pads. And keep your window scraper handy so you can clear the INSIDE of the windshield when it gets reallllllllllly cold.

I love bug's ...great ride.
I had a problem one winter with my FAN, and could only get "flow-thru" heat when I was moving. Of course, that winter the temps were in the teens and 20's - not pleasant at all. I found the money to get it fixed ASAP, and drove with the front windows rolled down an inch to keep the windshield from icing up INSIDE! (I have an hour commute to work.)
We quit drinking for a week so we could fix the heater in the car.

Slow, what kind of car is it? I learned this next question from the Car Talk Guys......what color is it?
I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
Why is this question being asked on White Blaze?
For the wealth of knowledge on staying warm in the cold?
I drove a VW bus for 8 years, no heat. Constantly scraping and wiping the windshield. My next car was a rag-top Jeep, drove it 17 years with barely enough heat to keep the windshield clear. Now I got a pick-up with halfway heat, not good but better than the last 2 cars. I'm on the south end of Chigago. If you do this all the time like I do you get used to it. But if you are used to that Florida weather you better get it fixed before you head very far North.

Lots of layers...(like onions Just kidding.) Really layers, though it's been pretty nice in VA. And if you're cold, wear a beanie on your head.
