What is the Vanagon steering wheel made of? What polymer might it be? On a
cold winter day that plastic material sucks the heat out of my fingers
like it's made of aluminum or some other material with high thermal
conductivity. Or is it something to do with specific heat? I was doodling
at the back of the physics class when they discussed heat capacity. But
anyway, it's cold, and doesn't feel like it's very interested in getting
warm to the touch. Mrs Squirrel's toes can be like sometimes.
