Forget the heater core - I have a nice half-dollar size scar on my right
shin from earlier this year. At a local event, on a 90 second course, my
'99 Corvette chewed a very lovely second degree burn on my right leg.
There's a nice little heater vent on the edge of the console that blows
right at your leg. The pain wasn't that bad, but the cooking meat smelled
so appetizing I started drooling inside my helmet and almost blew the run...

(Hey, if McDonald's can be sued for hot coffee, what do you think I can
collect from GM for a car that blows hot AIR all over you at the touch of a
button?!)
