yes its true, for those of you who do not do your own work or know much about vehicles, this is the reason why turning on the heater can really help. Inside your vehicle is a small radiator with a fan to blow the heated air. If you turn on the heater, it opens a valve which allows the hot water to circulate through it, almost like having a larger radiator. And no, I am not on LSD right now.....
