Sitting shivering in your car on wintry mornings waiting for the heater to warm up and blasting the ice off the screen has got to be one of the least pleasant aspects of motoring. But did you ever stop to think about the environmental cost of running your engine for those extra four minutes or so?
Saab has thought about the problem quite a lot, it seems, and has launched ‘the world’s most luxurious ice scraper’ to encourage you to take the environmentally-responsible manual option.
Enter the Funk-Is, which Saab is billing as a cooler and more functional alternative to the CD cases and credit cards that are typically pressed into service on freezing mornings.
Made of thick frosted plexiglass with sharp diamond cut edges, the Funk-Is has a plough-shaped blade and a special groove for clearing snow and ice from the wiper blades. It also has an ergonomic – and crucially warm – grip made from leather and lambswool. We told you they’d thought about it a lot!
Get your hands on this essential bit of winter kit at your local Saab dealer, or via www.saab.com . Or you could write a letter to Santa.
