I really can't imagine anyone living in that part of the country without one.

When I first moved from North Dakota to California for my first job out of college, I remember a mechanic being totally puzzled by a plug which fed out of my front grill.

Even those unreliable 1970s era American cars turned over the first time when unplugged from an engine block heater.

In those days, it was roughly $40 in parts and labor to have one installed.
