Heated vehicle seats as observational chairs

Idea:

Use the driver’s seat of a high end SUV, with adjustable positioning in several aspects, and most importantly a heating system for the back side. Rig up a joystick to make the seat follow your mount/eyepiece, throw a blanket over the lower half and lean into a long cold night. As long as the power held out. Sure, probably only feasible in an observatory proper, but wrecked vehicles have these oh-so-comfy seats crushed/ripped to shreds every day. Think about it. A seat that can track around, sort of, and has a backside warming function. Just cobble together some sort of base to mount it on, maybe cog belt stepper driven for yet another axis.
