REFLECTOR: Corvette Seats

[gattenby at tulsaconnect.com]

Alex,

The seats get COLD in the summer when the cold button is 
pushed.
It happens faster than what I can atribute to the SUV's 
ac.
I supect it's something like the peltier junction devices.
The question is now, Just how complex is it and what does 
it weigh?

The wife is already demanding that the plane have 
airconditioning.
She saw a plane at the symposium that had it.
I don't remember who it was, but he gave the
the website www.hotrodair.com
