I wish public places had the option for plug-in connectivity.

My car is often parked at the airport lot, which in the Winter, gets cold and very inefficient on cold starts (plus delayed TC engagement, ugh). I'd pay extra for a plug-in spot (even if it's a mile away from the terminal -- and have to walk it and freeze my arse).

I seriously recommend an OEM engine-block heater. I'm fairly inept when it comes to repairs, but I was able to manage an EBH install. It works incredibly in the Winter when AC access is obtained. Look to the dealer for a part. The extra cost may be worth it.
