I'm going to stay 21 forever, after reading this thread. I may gouge out my eyes as well.

Y'all need to eat more oatmeal.

There's your solution. Sit on a shrinky dink, then go for a nice long motor with the seat heaters on. Voila!

Best response yet! (though closing the window would probably be more effective, and definitely less painful.)


I'm thinking GregO is fishing, and he hooked a big one!

Never heard of Gregs problem but I notice a higher occurance of "false alarm" pit stops when the heated seats where used on long trips. Last trip I folded a towel and sat on it, eliminated the issue while keeping my back nice and warm and muscles loose. I could see where sitting on you rear would cause trouble but it wouldn't be a result of the heat.

Given the numerous other weird subjects covered by NAMmers, the only thing about this thread that I find at all surprising is the fact that it's actually taking place outside the heavy fortification of OT.

Kind of like watching a train wreck, right ? It's horrifying and gruesome but you just can't not click on the thread.

If I get 'em from my heated car seats, does the Mini warranty cover the treatment?

Another question, ---anybody else notice that the heat from the car seats is uneven? The right side of my butt seems to get much more toasty than the left, especially on the outside of the theighs.

Actually, I think this topic is sorta appropriate since 17th century UK folks really loved potty humour.

I have avoided looking in here but finally couldn't stop myself. I thought GregO was having a technical problem with his heat seats and that it was a pain in the buttocks. The truth was much worse.

I think the modding may contribute to the piles - after all there is a lot of butt dynoing going on as a result
