    Oh, makes sense. The only time I see snow is when I stick my head in the freezer.

    I believe that would be a "space heater"

    Nice to see more Swedish members, I got the very same model of the heater in my car too The laptop-with-broken-screen idea seems to be the smartest way to go, why isnt it more common?

    i think laptop is the best way since its small, the power aint that big issue and you got batteri so when you stop for half an hour somwhere the carputer if still working wont drain from the car.
    the negative side is the prise for a laptop, but the otherhand you can get it for nice prise if you find someone selling with brooken screen
