Bet you could have saved enough gas money to afford a decent winter coat :-)

Seriously, I can't understand people who dress too lightly for the weather because they think they'll be in a warm - possibly pre-warmed - vehicle. What do they think is going to happen when the car breaks down, or the snow piles up faster than the plows can handle, and they're stranded? I not only dress for the weather, if I'm going anywhere out of easy walking distance of a warm place, I'll throw my winter-weight sleeping bag in the car, too.
