I sure wish my Dodge 1ton had a heated Steering wheel.:bigjoint:
Dash vents in my Ford fixes that issue (cold hands) but I'd really like heated seats for those "Cold Ass" mornings.
I hear that, I have no issues with interior amenities. I had a '06 Caddy DTS with heated wheel and heated/ cooled seats for a couple years and it spoiled me. I'll be adding aftermarket seat heaters to my car before next winter, hopefully, and I'm looking for some late model heated seats for my old Ford pu. One thing I'll do is wire in a ambient temperature switch so they can't be accidentally turned on in the summer. .. talk about swamp ass.:spew:

The heated seats in the Civic go up to my shoulders, pretty nice. They put the switches on them up so you can't accidentally drop something on them, or have a dog stand on them. I'm pleased although leery of all the new electronics. Although I absolutely LOVE the side and back up camera.

There are damn few ways out of that lifestyle.
That seems to be one of the more common.
That's one of the things that is so angering. If opiates were legally accessible in marked strengths and purchased with Narcan a lot of these people could lead normal lives. Slavery via the prison industry levering a public health issue is ugly and I believe beneath most caring societies.

That's what it is. He was alone in his room hiding like a common criminal. Took too much. His dad found him the next morning.

Damn man, so sorry to hear that. I can totally relate. My son has struggled with this addiction for the last few years. His mom was hospitalized with blood poisoning from dirty needles, she still uses and her husband OD, she found him. Seems like there is no fear of death..

Precisely and addiction is a mental health issue, we do not understand the biochemical mechanism. We will one day and when that day comes it will leave a lasting commentary on our generations inhumanity to our fellow man, all in the service of money.

Probably the single biggest sporting event of my life, against the back drop of the Vietnam war as public opinion started to turn hard against it.

Everybody was aware of this event. Every celebrity was at Madison Square Garden that night. Frank Sinatra was a ringside photographer for Life Magazine.

Everybody had an opinion on who should win, largely based on their political view of the war.

Leading up to the fight, both fighters were on Johnny Carson, Ed Sullivan, numerous commercials, a one hour prime time pre fight special, and the fight was covered world wide by every media outlet.

It wasn't allowed on home TV for decades. You had to pay to see highlights at the movies. (seriously)

It was fucking Huge. And the wrong guy won. But he got beat up pretty bad in the 2nd rematch in Manilla.

Both those guys left massive pieces of themselves in the ring, in all 3 fights.

And there will never be a fight between 2 undefeated, undisputed heavyweight champions again.
