I have no problem with conserving a nice car but don't tell me you "can't"
drive it in the winter, thats lame.
I've been driving diesels for the last 8 years, the newest was an '85, also an
'84 and '83 and now a '78 which I'm daily driving right now because my '84
needs a carrier bearing.
You COULD drive your car, plug in the block heater and it'll be warm enough to
start in an hour or two, synthetic oil would help but is not required, the last
winter I drove my '83 I used conventional oil.

Harumph, this is what block heaters are for...

My car is too old and too nice to subject it to our winters.
And, the old diesels do not start like the newer ones when it gets
really cold. Double batteries might help but even then, I believe I
might have issues that are best avoided.
