Re: [FWDLK] Driving my DeSoto

I agree. Sitting on frozen vinyl seats in an older car is a very bad idea.
When vinyl gets very cold, it gets very brittle. When you sit on it, it
cracks. Over the years those cracks will open into rips.

I once placed my briefcase flat on the seat beside me in a 73 Plymouth
Scamp. The blunt corner cracked a round one inch hole right through the seat
vinyl. But then I think it was minus 10 or colder that day.

Everybody be careful sitting on those frozen seats.  A couple weeks ago I
went out and sat in mine in  a 0 degree garage and a threaded seam in the
vinyl separated - about 2 in long.
