This is more of a 'what really makes me relieved'. But after the gear grinder post yesterday, today relatively makes me happy.
In my infinite laziness yesterday, I only tried to remote start the car. Didn't work. Today I actually went out and sat in the car and hit the push-to-start button. And it worked! I let it warm up for a few mins and then drove it to the gas station to fill air. The only issue was that the steering felt heavy. I guess it's because the block heater wasn't plugged in and that may have solidified some of the fluids. After 10 mins of driving, the steering didn't seem as bad. I likely will still plug the block heater into an inside outlet (to avoid tripping the GFCI switch) for 4 hours before heading out to drive anywhere.
