    One thing I wish my 300 had!

    As dang cold as it has been the last few weeks on and off, there is one thing that would have made my life just a little easier. Nisson makes a heated sterring wheel on some of it's cars..I WISH that the LX had that as an option. The wheel gets so dang cold and stays cold....seems it takes forever to warm up, at least it doesn't get warm for my entire commute. I need gloves to take the edge off.

    Oh and I am a wuss in cold weather, to me if it's under 80 outside, it's cold

    gloves do the trick here

    just use your remote start and let it warm up for 20 minutes with the vents blasting on the wheel

    Don't Dodge trucks have heated steering wheels? At least that's what I thought I heard in one of those Chevy commercials with Howie Long. The one where a guy backs into his truck...

    2007 BSM Charger SRT8 traded

    Looks like it...

    Inside the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500


    You'll find a Dodge-truck-first inside the Ram, an optional center console with shifter. The console has two compartments, an upper and a lower, plus two map pockets and several small storage areas around the gear shift lever. In all, trucks with consoles have 38 storage compartments. The console would have been even more useful if Dodge had made it a little larger, with a lockable area big enough hold a laptop or file folders.

    The Ram Box is an innovative use of space, but we'll have to monitor its top and hinges over time to determine how they hold up to daily use.
    The Ram has upper and lower glove boxes. Seats have larger side bolsters, and you'll find high-shouldered bucket seats in Sport and Laramie Ram trucks.
    The new Ram offers an industry-first in pickups, heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats. The heated steering wheel is a first for Dodge.

    Yeah, the '09 Rams have a heated steering wheel (don't know if it's standard or optional) - PickardvilleSRT8 just got one.

    I had mentioned the same thing re: wishing for a heated steering wheel. Holding that frozen wheel when it's almost -40 (or even when it's 0*F/18*C like this morning) sucks the heat right out of my fingers through the gloves. I have to let go of the wheel one hand at a time to warm them up.

    The older I get the more pampered I want to be, I guess - LOL!

    ...And yeah, I beat that yellow 'vette by a tenth - LOL!

    I thought you were gonna say Aria.

    Good thinking on a heated steering wheel, although I havent heard of one for the LX's.

    Stuff a pony's hood with one of the multi-throat-carbureted monster motors, and it could fog the landscape with testosterone and tire smoke
