    Another idea would be to fire the car about 5-10 minutes before you leave and let it warm up a little (with the defroster and a/c cranked of course). Remote start isn't to expensive to get installed (seen some places advertise em for like 150 bucks installed around this neck of the woods).

Something else I've noticed is that parking the car under a carport or in a garage drastically reduces the occurence of fog, inside or outside the windows.

    Your windows are fogging up because the floor mats are wet - this contributes to the excess humidity in the car. As the car warms up, the frozen mats start to thaw and the water vapour is released. Go to a car wash and use the vacuum to suck up most of the water. It really helps.

    Clean window, and dry. Rub a bar of real soap (like Ivory) on window. Polish till clear with dry paper. DON'T touch. When your kids find out they will draw cute little things on the inside that will fog over!! This is an old old fix, and may not work with some of the chemicals used today on cars. The idea is to get a polished thin layer of soap over the glass. Renew as needed.

    Sounds to me you just have a weak HVAC system and it can't keep up with your hot breathing, stud

    Rain-X has a product called "Rain-X Anti-Fog" that helps keep the windows from fogging up. It wouldn't hurt to try it out.

    The reason your windows are fogging over is do to the water that you exhale when you breath.

    no breathing no fogging

    If all else fails, just remove the windows completely. If you get cold, just turn the heater way up.
