I have been thinking... would it be worth it to get a large blanket or quilt and bungee it to the hood of the car when I run into the store or something, to keep the car warm if I am going to be more than 10 minutes? Or even to leave on my car while I am in class...
The theory seems to be good, but practicality might be difficult because if it snows, then I am stuck with a snow covered blanket to clean off and fold back into the trunk...
Anybody have any comments or thoughts???

as hoods a have a pattern of openings in the subframing, .25 inch fire proof insulation, it has a silever lining both sides, foam type stuff, somewhat rigid..is an oe type good idea, to fit right in, maybe even crumple it up and get a few openings at the same time.. I can't remember the name of that stuff...it gets mentioned once and awhile. I want to do that for a very cold running boxer, tiny carbed. forever warming up.
flammable or old GM type fiber stuff is ridiculous. I remeber a 78 delta 88 with a very large one (big hood). It was very quiet, and it conquered a physic, but it needed all snow removed completely, it never melted.
