Well, as it turns out, some conversations on [fj] mention that vortech warns against cold starting the car in temperatures lower than 25F which is -3.9C
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhehehehehehe...
<ahem>
without a block heater or aftermarket warming blanket.
So what are my options for being able to keep the car warm when I actually take it outside in the winter? I need something that can warm the block (and subsequently the oil) in a reasonable amount of time (or keep it warm), and run without the need for hydro.
thoughts / suggestions? I'll cry if my focus turns into a 'summer car'... christ.. it's a fourdoor econobox
