We got hammered with 8 inches of powder last night and my car was fully warmed up by the time I left the driveway and both sides of my windshield were nice and clear.

How long did you idle the car for?

That's impossible, according to fleabag heat doesn't melt ice or snow. Everyone knows this.
Why not take your dollar bill and burn it and see if it'll heat up your house... oh that's right, it wouldn't because that'd be absurd.. Way to exaggerate...That's impossible, according to fleabag heat doesn't melt ice or snow. Everyone knows this.
I only have keys!! Not rich enough to have a remote start for a 10 year old grand am!!or do you leave it in there and always buy a new one?

OMG Dude.. Life is going to be a hard for you!!I've warmed up truck in 29F weather, which IS below freezing... My dad warmed up truck at lake tahoe in the winter time, so that had to have been cold...
OMG Dude.. Life is going to be a hard for you!!
I been reading this thread over and your total lack of comprehension of everything is astonishing. You are a prime example why Velcro shoes are still made.. Let me lighten you up on a how a car engine works!
- A car/truck/or any gas/diesel engine used in the automotive industry all are water/coolant cooled via convection. The coolant is first heated in the engine block area called commonly as the water jackets which run around the cylinder walls of the engine and into the cylinder heads. Inside the cylinder walls of the engine block, gas is ignited under pressure while the engine is running and can heat the cylinder up over 1200+ degrees Fahrenheit. This heating action will heat the water around the cylinder walls up until the water is hot enough to actuate the thermostat located normally on the Intake Manifold. Most common thermostats actuate around 195F. When that Therm actuates (opens up) water then flows from the engine block to the vehicles radiator where it is cooled with cooler air, at the same time the cooled coolant is then pumped via the water pump into the engine block for the process to repeat.
Unless your father left the thermostate OUT. It will heat up, but will take much longer.
OMG your right.. Thermodynamics is way different there..no, you don't understand. This was in Lake Tahoe...in the winter
While your post is 100% correct until the very last sentence. It's great that you can post nearly 100% facts and still have a fail post. You do realize that the greater the temperature differential, the more energy you have to put in for you to maintain a given temperature... This is why it's much more expensive to heat a home to 80F when it's 20F outside compared to 70F outside. You can't reasonably heat a home to 80F when it's a large area and poorly insulated and you can't "reasonably" heat an engine when it's...." "....OMG Dude.. Life is going to be a hard for you!!

Will someone here at least admit that there will be a point where an idling engine will NEVER reach operating temperature due to the outside temperature? If you do admit to this, how about you chime in with your thoughts on how cold it would have to be in order for this to happen.

You're a tard if you think that a car doesn't radiate heat without a radiator... It's ALWAYS radiating heat which is why sometimes it doesn't need to have the thermostat open despite putting heat in.I don't think you understand it. I'm mechanically a novice still, but at least I understand how a car operates.
The vehicle will retard all radiation/cooling systems UNTIL operating temperature is met. So if you idle it for enough time (10-20 mins, variable) it certainly will reach operating temperature. It doesn't matter how hot/cold it is outside.
