Have a great day.
Ok cool, yeah i'd like to try it out and be in temperatures where I can actually use it!!

The timing in the garage is an excellent way to go about it too! We just happen to have a timer!

Almost, still need to get my skis tuned.

Oh yeah, my wife wants me to by a 4matic before it snows because I donated her POS jeep last spring. I guess I need to get working on that.

get a battery warmer

For really cold weather it makes more sense to get a battery warmer than plug in the engine warmer. With synthetic oil warming the engine is no longer needed. Battery chemistry/physics has not changed.

I have a block heater, a battery warmer, and a tender charger all wired to a single plug for very cold days.
