Further, warming your car up, for example to defog the windows in the morning, is essentially illegal (Ordnungswidrigkeit - a minor offense against the public order), and will definitely earn various reproaches from your neighbors.

While here, the cool people have remote control starters, so you can look out your home or office window and start your car without actually having to go outside. I know people who start up their cars remotely half an hour before they plan to use them. So they'll be nice and warm, and they won't have to scrape the windows.
