Sounds like a monumental waste of $ at 1K, not to mention gas. I can only see it as being useful in really cold climates.

It works well in any climate. In the summers the AC cools the car down before you get in. Allowing the car to fire up and idle allows the oil temp to get up to temp a little more, allowing you less road time before hammering on the car. If you're worried about wasting fuel, well... You choose the wrong car to own lol.

As for "warming up" your car - everyone by now should know that the best way to bring ANY car up to operating temp is by driving it lightly as opposed to letting it idle for any extended period of time. Not to mention excessive idling can lead to premature cat failure.

It's for my own comfort, I'm not doing it so i can go WOT right outta the garage, lol
