It's a grill block. Warms my engine up faster by preventing cold air from coming it, and keeps it hot during the cold spells which = better mpg.

How cold does it really get in CA?
I'm in NY and I've never seen anyone do that before. Some here with old cars will stuff cardboard in front of the rad though....
