I've been thinking about having one on my Mustang...faster heat, reduce the cold engine lean spots, less wear and better winter MPG's! Does anybody make one that y'all know of?

In Texas? I wouldn't bother. It's meant more for seriously cold climates like up in Montana and North/South Dakota and such, to keep the antifreeze from, well, FREEZING and cracking the block and such, and so your oil doesn't totally turn into molasses and become so thick that the motor won't even turn over. Other than that, it won't really do anything to help with cold spots and the like...

Hey, it's cold here for my California ass. I'd still like to have it if for no other reason than the quicker heat.
