I decided that the VW needs some exercise. It hasn't been driven in over a month. I thought I could drive it out of its spot, but the tires were frozen to the ground. So, I had to jerk it out of its...

I filled a couple dozen 1 gallon containers with water and put them in the rear of my truck bed along with a couple large car batteries, and then shoveled all my snow into it. I'm getting great...

The space heater is as a replacement for starting early and idling in the driveway to provide a warm driving environment, not instead of running the fan once the engine is warmed up. With hypermiling...

Tell me more. I have a space heater that I intended to use to pre-heat my interior but I'm very afraid to use it. How big, how many watts, where exactly do you place it and in what orientation, etc...
