You shouldn't idle your car warm. You should drive it immediately at low rpm to warm her up more quickly.
Lol dude. I live in Edmonton Alberta. We see -40c every winter here.. sometimes for weeks on end. Don't tell me a block heater isn't needed it clearly is. And yea my Z is not the best choice of car for this climate but who are you to say I shouldn't have one?
