Haha, you're just as cold if not colder tonight. I remember one of our old cars had a block heater, but we sold that awhile ago. Now the accord doesn't have one, and doesn't need one. This truck has had starting problems (battery draining), but for some reason the mechanic unhooked the rpm gauge and it has started perfectly ever since. This should be the beggest test for it yet.... I do have a garage going for me though.

I'll cover about 3/4 of the grill area with cardboard and see how that works out tomorrow.

like I said, cold starts are bad on engines, and although the accord will start, it too should have a block heater. The cardboard is for your comfort, it doesn't help the vehicle. The proper way to heat the engine is with a heater that will replace a frost plug on your engine block. Alternatively, auto parts stores have magnetic heaters you can attach to your block or oil pan. Of course 99 percent of people don't know that and are just fine. My van has a block heater and a trickle charger that gets plugged in at 10 or below. Peace!
