Thanks for the info. This bug goes into hibernation as soon as the snow
flies. It's going to be his summer car, much like my truck is for me. But
I have looked into the heating problem, more for the defrosters than the
heat, and what I've found is that I can get a small electric heater to keep
the window clear. A must around here in the fall. Wisconsin gets plenty
chilly in the morning before the snow flies.
