Re: warming up car
THAT'S not cold! [img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img] Try -40!!
Anyway, the best way to warm up a cold car is to start it and let it idle no more than 30 sec, or when it's really cold up to a couple minutes. Then drive the car slowly, being gentle on the throttle until it fully warms up in about 5 minutes of driving. This is apparently better for the engine than extended periods of idling and warms the car up faster as well.

Re: warming up car
Hey Gordgee, Tell us about having 2 block heaters for that
-40 weather. [img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img] that's cold (brass monkey weather).
The weatherman says +5 today in Edmonton, ---the first time above freezing in a while. You won't need much warmup or block heating today.
