we talked about it the other day... the only drawback is that you'd need to make a cutout for the stick.. not sure how it'd affect functionality.

Dan,
The ES series Lexus's have this feature. Go test drive one and try out the seats to see if you like the air blowing from down under. It is actually very subtle.

Question Old idea, updated?

Dan... it looks like an updated, powered version of the woven wire mesh aftermarket seat cushions from the 60's and 70's - before we could afford air conditioning in our cars...

They actually helped a little, especially with the old vinyl seats...

gil in Tucson - now thankful for A/C.....

Kinda reminds me of the Ford GT-40 setup from the mid 1960s.

Default Just for grins

what race car drivers use but only last 2 hours, the bigger expensive ones last 4 or more hours. Not practical but I guess you cold incorporate something like that into the seat? The box of ice must weigh a bit.

I guess you could put your Jeans in the freezer but that might cause shrinkage?
