[s-cars] Block Heater Question

[Randy Lewis]

Hi Fred, Achint & Other B.H. users,

You are right about the stick-on part, I found it hard to believe but they
say they stay on, I can just picture that thing clanking around dragging
underneath the car when the adhesive decides to let go.

I plan to do a little summary of the different types, costs etc and report
back to the list.....
