I assume you know it is not a good idea to run your car in the garage.

Since you didn't use a smiley, one can only come to the conclusion that you were either serious or a moron. Which was it?

dferkler's point is valid. This is the season for Carbon Monoxide poisioning. We've already responded to a ridiculoius amount of CO alarms this year due to homeowners warming their car up with the garage closed.

RE: Heatiny
the "turning the heat on" part confuses me.
If you start your car, turn the **** to the right & in the red, turn the fan all the way up and maybe turn it to recycle the air instead of bringing in fresh, cold air, it'll warm up soon enough.

I am assuming you realize that the heat in your car comes from the heated water (coolant) in your motor. When it's cold your motor has to heat up the water before the heat begins to pump. Cold motor = no heat.

Okay, i want to make sure im not the only one with this problem... its been a bit nippy out here in tx (30-40) last week or so, and i start up the car in the morning and let it run for about 30 secs with the heat off, when i get ready to go, i turn the heat on, and cold air comes out for like 4-5 mins until the hot stuff comes, but dont get me wrong... when the actuall heat is on, it works flawlessly. but, does it take all you guys this long for the heat to come?

When the coolant temp guage reads hot, the heater
air should be hot. Not a second before.

Yes, the Stang DOES take longer than most vehicles to warm up and provide heat. My SUV provides heat after about 1 mile. The Stang, after about 2-3 miles.
