Subject: RE: Nibbs XLIIQueenZipp - 2010-02-08 5:50 AM My car hasn't been started since last Tuesday. I am letting it warm up for 15 minutes before scraping it the rest of the way. Does that mean I am smart or lazy? Since I don't know if your car was in the garage or outside, I need to state "I SURE HOPE YOU DIDN'T LEAVE THE GARAGE DOOR(S) CLOSED!".  The idea of idling the car for that amount of time piqued my interest, so I found this - http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/myths/idling.html I am guilty of running the car for about 2 min. so that the heater warms the windshield, making it easier to scrape the ice/snow off in the winter (when my vehicle is parked out in the open at work) Edited by 1stTimeTri 2010-02-08 8:44 AM
