to leather or not to leather

[Fringe Ryder <fringe@fringeweb.com>]

Or, what I do is...

Park the dratted car in a nice warm garage.  You'd be amazed how much nicer 
that is... not only are the seats not frigid, but I get to stay dry getting 
to it too!

Actually, I do find cloth warmer in the winter... and in the summer.  And 
it stains and rips easily.  I'm not one of those people who get cold 
easily, so leather doesn't bug me on that extreme, but cloth holding in the 
heat (and sweat) in the summer really bugs me.  And I'm in Seattle, 
northernmost major city of the contiguous United States; we don't have 
harsh summers.  Think how much I'd hate it in Needles, CA.
