Monday seems to be the warmest so far, it might reach as high as 6 degrees. Wanna do it on Monday or any other specific days you guys wanted?

Reason I ask. I keep mine at about 57 all winter.... Maybe that's not very "green"?

Mine is always on but it doesn't warm up as quickly as what Harry has. I need to invest in a larger BTU or plumb a gas line into the garage and install something nicer.

How big is this box? Would it fit in a GTI with the back seats down?

^maybe with out the box but that would be a tight fit. If your making the trip out there we should just install it there then to make it easier?

Not a chance. I don't think the hardtop would fit without the box either, it's bigger than you think.

That's what I'm starting to think, unless we only installed the hardware, but I imagine he wants the top on, too.

It still isn't going to fit in the GTI.
