    Temps here in the winter often are -20 degrees or colder.

    Both vehicles are fuel injected w/electronic ignition, sit outside and right up, no issues.

    Decades ago when vehicles did not have electronic ignition and fuel injected, there were more 'cold' starting issues.

    Vehicles that were well maintained generally fired up in any temperature.

    The "heaters" I keep in the glove box or under the seat AWAYS WORK!!! ;)

    My Dodge has a factory installed block heater. I use it when it get down below 20 or so. Using it saves battery power from the intake preheater grid.

    no I keep that on the couch........

    In the Army they always told us -

    Don't run, if you can walk.
    Don't walk, if you can ride.
    Don't ride, if you can stand.
    Don't stand, if you can sit.
    Don't sit, if you can lie down.

    Why are you sitting in the recliner - instead of lying down on the couch?

    Maybe I should add -

    Don't sit, if you can recline. ;)
    I was a marine, guess we weren't taught that........ ;)

    Sometimes they just give up on trying to teach a Marine things.

    :lol:

    It gets pretty cold here in NE Kansas ... not like North Dakota, but cold enough that when I had only a single car garage I let the wife park inside; I?d put one of these 120V heaters in the backseat with an extension cord to the garage ... get up, plug it in and get ready for work ... 30-45 minutes later the windows would be warm enough that even if it was snow covered they?d usually be cleared; if I did have to scrape the glass it wouldn?t take but a minute or two. Unplug the extension cord and put it in the back seat. Inside it?d stay nice & toasty until the engine temp was warm enough to turn on the heater. When I got home, just pull the cord in the garage and repeat ...
