As for the inside, whenever I drive I just keep the air fan on max to push as much air out of the cabin as possible. And I hold my breath

EDIT: Covering the windshield with cardboard/vinyl will cover up my little solar trickle charger, just when I need it most
It will if it freezes hard. I threw an old yoga mat over the window once and the bits that did come off left a lovely ice print on the glass that i had to scrape off. Now i use some coroplast with cuts in it to follow the curve. There is enough room for my solar charger, not that it gets much sun nowadays!

In my eternal quest for an engine heater i found this:engine preheater block heater coolant heater HOT FROG on eBay (end time 18-Dec-10 11:29:32 GMT)
Now thats what i'm talking about!! Must put the pennies away for one.
