It was glorious to arrive at an already warm vehicle. The only thing better would be arriving to a warm vehicle waiting Curbside to take me home less expensively than paying to store my own car unused.
It’s so good. It’s the kind of thing I didn’t even know I needed until I had it!

Well, I don’t know if you’d die immediately, but carbon monoxide poisoning is the real deal, so to speak. It’s not exactly something to mess around with.

Probably not great for the engine either, as it will be running low on oxygen the longer it idles. And the cabin will be full of CO, so you will have to air it out, or die. And then all the cold air comes in.
