I have to vent! My Bride, for the second time in 5 days, backed her

of the drive and drove down the street with the extension cord plugged
in to
the block heater. Except today, the plug was ripped off the cord
instead of
just coming unplugged. AAAAAGGGHHH!!
This woman, who never misses an opportunity to dog me for being
forgetful,
claims that since she doesn't think about cars "24 hours a day" like
me,
that she can't be expected to remember to unplug the heater. I
offered to
drape the cord over the rearview mirror, but she claims that it
wouldn't
help!!!!!!
Thanks for listening.

The easy answer is only plug the car in when absolutely necessary and
unplug it and start the car for her when its that cold. How often does
the ambient temperature get lower than 0 F? What year and model is her
car? What year and model is your car?
