Does anyone remember lighting a small fire under the engine of your car in order for it to start on cold winter mornings? Maybe it's just a Yooper thing?

I've heard about this from a buddy who was also a Yooper. Pretty sure it's regional.
That said, I do remember my parents pulling the batteries from their cars and bringing them into the house so they wouldn't freeze during northern IL winters in the early 80's


Regarding the video, I'm still trying to figure out how "fine china" is a skill, but I digress
