Message	Well it's getting to be that time of year, and it's the first time I've been through it with a Z. I was just wondering if anyone on here has an engine block heater, or if there was a reason why no one on here would want an engine block heater. I've been researching and I've read nothing but good things about them, I just want to be sure. Thanks alot! P.S. If anyone does have one, are they fairly easy to install on these cars? What is involved in the installation? thanks again!
