No block heater?

Get a car starter and let it sit in idle for a few?

Personally, if there was a car that I was going to baby, I wouldn't drive it in winter. I'm from Alberta.

yeah, but even with a car starter, its gunna be hard (maybe impossible) to turn over on these -30 or -40 days.

The block heater is an option thats offered...i declined it...hmmmm

In the name of weight reduction? Personally, I think without it, you've got more room for other things.

Heated garage?

well it isn't right now...but i really wanna heat it. when u live in saskatchewan you really need a nice warm place to work on ur car!

Yup its an option on the SS, I dont need it because my SS will be in a heated garage and wont be driven in the winter, and NO NOT WEIGHT REDUCTION ! lol

Hey Tec, I'm in Canada too. Edmonton, Alberta to be exact. We probably get much of the same weather.

Anyway, I've noticed something with some dealers. They automatically throw in block heaters for Canadian models. I remember this because I didn't want one but it was included. I believe this was the case in my last 2 cars.

I hope they throw it in. They didn't on the car my girlfriend bought a couple years ago. I took a look on the first cold snap and realized that it didn't have one. It just doesn't make sense not to include one in Alberta. You just have to know that turning it over at -35c isn't very good for it, though it has never had a problem starting.
