Coats and Cars

[MrsMB]

Do you wear your coat in the car? This post brought to you by the fact that I feel suffocated with mine on and take it off the second I get to my car in the winter....even if it takes the car a minute to warm up. 

Come on....I don't want to be the only weirdo.

First thing in the morning when it is really cold I usually keep it on. A lot of time I do take off my coat in the car. Not weird

It's too damn cold most of the time to take mine off, haha. I might for a long drive or at least unzip it though.

I don't. I usually will run out to the car in a sweater and bring my coat with me if I need it. I do the same thing at work.

I always wear my coat in the car in the winter. My car takes at least 10 minutes to heat up. Even in my H's car, which heats up fast, it's still cold enough that I feel comfortable in my coat.

I absolutely CANNOT wear a coat when I am driving, my arms are way too restricted. People look at me like I'm crazy because it could be five degrees outside, and the coat comes off the minute I get in the car. In the winter, I usually try to wear a sweater under it so I don't freeze as much, but sweater or not, the coat comes off

The struggle is REAL! Like...all I can think about is wiggling out if I have it on for more than a minute while I'm driving. LOL

Nope, nope, nope. I'll put the coat or a blanket in my lap if it's cold and the car hasn't warmed up. I feel like I'm being strangled if I try to wear it.

I don't like wearing coats in the car but I did find one that I can wear if it is unzipped. Honestly this is one of the reasons I often don't wear coats to work. I just wear a fleece and walk quickly into the building...it is all of 20 yards away.

I wear it the whole time unless we're in the car for a couple hours or more. I tend to be cold anyway, so I don't mind the extra warmth and I don't feel restricted.

I'll generally leave it on unless it's a longer drive, then it comes off.

[Skyesthelimit1212]

I have to because I'm always cold and there are times that hubs opens the window for air.

If it's a quick drive to work or the store it stays on. Long trip, it gets taken off immediately.

This is me too.

For work I usually just wear a tee shirt and bring my sweater/jacket with me. I may be cold for 2 minutes to get into someone's house, BUT old people keep their houses at 100+ degrees. I cook instantly even without my jacket on.

This time of year, I leave it on. Especially since home to work is only 4.5 miles. Some mornings my car doesn't even have enough time to warm up before I get there. Once the temp hits about 45ish in the afternoons I will take it off.
