I bet your splits are in better shape than mine ever were!  We wore lots of
wool and left the windows open to keep the frost buildup off the inside of
the windows.    :-)

Of course my '57 Chevy pickup had a heater like two hamsters breathing on
your feet too, so it might have something to do with the state of my
automotive knowledge (and complete lack of money!) in those days!

I'm thinking its a good thing none of our cars had any speed in those days.
