there are no busy streets in Nanaimo. :) I'm on the fence here - I don't like hearing that it happened, but I also don't feel VW should pay to fix a 9 year old car seat.

From the article:
"Burning seat warmers, in various makes of vehicles, have reportedly caused 287 injuries and 500 fires in the U.S. in the last 20 years.

Pretty low numbers I would say.............

"They are a particularly serious problem for paraplegics, who get injured because they can’t feel the seat getting hot".

So why would a paraplegic even have the seat warmer on then? Lack of common sense must be yet another aspect of their disability.

But don't get me started on what a step backwards the Americans with Disabilities Act is.
