Go for it!
Especially if you don't have a heated garage.
I'm one of those people that hold the notion that 95% of engine wear happens in the first 60 seconds of operation each time you start the car (don't know if it is true or not, but it sure feels right when you turn the key at 20 below).
I have had one on my 92 9000 for years and it makes one heck of a difference at or below 10 degrees above zero. The oil stays warmer and thus does not have the consistency of peanut butter, the car interior heats up within a few minutes after starting, the car defrosts faster. I am a big supporter of them, and just put one in my (new to me) 9/5.
Thanks JPW for the routing hint. I was just trying to figure that out!
