  One winter the Dasher was "parked."  Something happened to the 
other car we were driving so Dad and I got the crawler and dragged 
it out and through the snow.  We drove it in town for close to a 
week, never getting any heat out of it.  I finally grabbed a piece of 
cardboard to stick in front of the radiator, figuring the thermostat 
had stuck.  I opened the hood and the radiator was still fully packed 
in snow from dragging it out!  Finally got it on the highway and in 
less than 1/4 mile the gauge started moving and heat came out of 
the vents!  I figure that's efficiency!
