Car Interior Preheater: warm your junker without burning gas
Dan Seitz Everybody does it, over the winter: fire up their car and wait for it to warm up so you don’t have to step into an ice cube made of steel. In fact, automatic starters were created for precisely this reason, only to be promptly banned in several cities for wasting huge amounts of gas. What’s somebody who doesn’t want to freeze to do? Install the Car Interior Preheater, of course!
It’s actually a fairly elegant solution: it’s essentially a small space heater hooked up to a rechargeable battery. Point one vent towards the windshield, another vent towards the seats, and you’ve got a toasty warm car in as little as ten minutes. Or you can start it remotely while making your coffee; no reason to actually go out to your car. It can even recharge off your car’s cigarette lighter port.
And how much does this convenience run you? About $120. But, let’s face it: this gizmo will save you that in gas alone.
