I know it sounds ridiculous, but 6 months of winter up in Northern Canada eventually gets to you. Don't take me wrong, I love winter and I consider the 9-3 a great skiing vehicle, no matter how deep the snow gets! I do most of my maintenance on the car, I just thought somebody actually thought about having a remote starter built, whiteout skipping on the security. The stock block heater does a reasonable job at keeping the engine warmish and with full synthetic oil, it starts reasonably well. I guess I'll build that garage after all!
