Default WOW...I just discovered a nice little add-on...

so im under my hood, and i find this plug coming from my block.
(its one of those plugs that you plug into your house)
come to find out its a block heater!! woo!
considering its exactly -3degress out right now, i pluged it in.
Buying used cars are fun because you discover things that they forgot to tell you about.
haha. lets just hope the discovery isnt a bad thing
now im happy to know i wont get a cold start when its below 0, and my car will warm up faster

My P71 has a block heater, and it was a lifesaver when I was living up in Iowa. It definitely made those below zero morning commutes much better!
