Block Heater

[4X4]

Most certainly, a lover of his or her vehicle will plug it in. I am merely offering an alternative.

Just to be clear, there are two (that I know of) kinds of block heaters. The 'OG' style pan warmer and the newer one that heats the water (antifreeze) and as a by-product, warms the engine and oilpan.
Both are much more effective when activated more than an hour before startup.

My way works for me.

Never factor in wind chill when looking at car starting temperature.

If it's -16 with a -32 windchill, the temperature of your car will be -16.
