How well does it work?
How big is it?
What did you pay for it?
It sounds like a great tailgating item :smile:

Thanks.

It works but it takes a little while to cool down stuff. It's big. If you move the front seat all the way back, it takes up all the room on the floor in the front.

The fan makes a small nice similar to the A/C when it runs

It costs $160 but the dealer gave it to me for free.

All in all works pretty well though. I use it to keep sandwiches and drinks cool. It would take a long time for it to cool down a warm drink. You may put that in the glove box instead.

I paid about $180 for mine. If things are put in cold, they stay cold. Was transporting some frozen meat to a friend and there was no thawing in 6hrs.

Also should add that you need to be careful putting cans in . A soda can was sliced when it hit the interior cooler fins..

What a mess! :evil:

I have just one of the cool bags left for the clearance. I didn't want to put it in the special as too many people might order and be disappointed they didn't get it. If anyone wants it I will sell it for $100.00 but would prefer order by phone so the first caller gets it and then I can post its gone.

Not a bag, no need for a plug-in socket, just add ice!

As an '03 owner it's a necessary revelation (DUH, why did I need to read that?!)
&
after being stranded after a friend's plug-in drained his battery beyond jump-start aid (to offer us semi-coldish beers at the drive-in), it's money to go with the ice cooler!

Besides, you can save lives, extremedies, even pets with ice & H20.

So, where'd you get the MINI sticker?
