@BlaineRice lmaooo hahaha you made my day!!

Makes sense.Obviously if you have the heater on in the car,it will warm up the engine faster and make it easier to start the car.

[joejedlicka]

@JAREDMICHALLE Actually, turning on the heater will increase the time it takes for the engine to rise to operating temperature, due to the fact that a heater core is in fact a small radiator, and with the fan engaged, it will be able to dissipate heat. He is simply recommending that to warm yourself. :) If your engine ever overheats, turn the heater on, with the fan on its highest setting. It may buy you just enough time to get home, or to a safe location.

[JAREDMICHALLE]

@joejedlicka Oh that makes sense.I always turn on the defrost if the window is frosted so that the ice can melt.

[SuperSnaithy]

Ok advice but basically common sense!

EPIC FAIL

[ciarasantiago]

too much talking...you needa know how to show an example & etc.....

[dolgabarctique]

bla bla

[Ethanerkul]

BEEP!

[mrjost55]

This is stupid advice... Just start it and drive. The engine will warm up much faster if you drive at low RPMs instead of letting it idle for minutes. You want to warm up the engine as fast as possible to prevent damage.

i always just start it and go. lol. probably shouldn't but i do it anyway. but i always keep the revs low and don't drive it hard.

[4eyedCyclopes]

I cant believe he didint advise letting the car warm up to running temp before driving...thats how you crack your engine block due to uneven warming and expanding of the engine.

[thermite68]

he's lying yesterday it was like minus 5 out side and i reved my car to 7800 rpm when it started

[radiostarcountry]

how to wreck it then.

[BlaineRice]

"Yadda yadda yadda... you're ready to go. Yadda yadda yadda... you're good to go. Yadda yadda yadda... you're good to go." Lol. That cracked me up.

@BlaineRice ahahahhahahhahahaha

[aznsketcher]

how much is a remote engine starter kit including installation? I'd put that in if I live in a cold weather state...

[usuck214]

[BRANDON85L]

i was just thinking about the same thing dude. finna google it now

[jayguy173]

@aznsketcher you can find them for under 100

[imaginaiton4me]

@aznsketcher i got and make me lazy but it nice if you got to say. save you time and not saving money cuz sometime the car run too long. but it much nicer than stay in the cold in the car to warm up.
