[s-cars] Wet Engine

[Jack Walker]

Sometimes skiing is a PIA just getting there and leaving!

That sounds more like it, hadn't ever thought about something like an
additional heater that could plug into a lighter, but the cars gonna have to
be running to keep the battery from being killed, but it all helps move the
air around.
