Yeah, I EOC a lot while driving. I had the Paseo this weekend on my trip to see some relatives, about a 200 mile drive on the freeway. I averaged 60 mph and in the 15F weather, the coolant fan never even came on. Coolant temps were quite high (~200F). However, heat was being used the entire time too.

Why aren't you using a block heater???

I dunno, I'm stubborn.
Most of the time I only use the car once a week. Getting a block heater setup for that doesn't seem real worth while, plus I'd just like to play around and try to find alternative ways to heat up the car faster. Its not really a problem, more of a nuisance and something to work on.
Blocking the radiator I'm sure would help. However, there is a huge difference between a 0F day and 25F day it seems. I have to be able to accommodate for each circumstance. I know I could simply remove the cardboard block, and I may end up doing that.
