   Doesn't this make their legs hot?   
      
   From time immemorial and certainly in 1950, a car heater was turned on   
   and off and the temperature adjusted by a valve in the hose that sent   
   hot water to the car's heater core under the dash.   
      
   But that meant when you turned on the hot water, it took time heating   
   the core before the core would radiate heat. Even the hose leading to   
   the core probably cooled off the coolant somewhat.   
      
   In the 70's? or 80's or 00's? some designers started sending hot water   
   to the core all the time and using an air blend door to determine if   
   cold/room temp air came out of the vents or if warm/hot air did. Then   
   it only took 3 or 4 seconds to change the temp of the vent air.   
      
      
   But what about people who live where it's never cold? South Florida?   
   Panama, Ecuador, Hawaii, French Equatorial Africa. Do the cars there   
   have a hot heater core only 6 inches from inside legs of the driver and   
   passenger? Doesn't that annoy them?
