I'd suggest you not be so touchy. YOU, my friend, are the one that
started this tit for tat by giving me a sarcastic, derogatory reply to
my logical response to your first message. As of this message, as far as
I am concerned verbal fighting between us is over - kaput - finished.

What does being Italian have to do with anything? Italians are just as
capable of doing, learning, etc. as any other people, aren't they?
I believe so anyhow.
IF and WHEN anybody puts you down because you are Italian, just
remember that whatever race they may be, they are no better nor worse
than you.
Let's see. I'm English, Scotch, Irish, German, Dutch, French, Spanish,
and Indian (Cree) (not necessarily in that order). Some of my ancestors
really got around!
However, my race or races (GRIN) doesn't make me any better or worse
than any one else.

OK, Here is your answer. 18V is exceeding by 50% the rated voltage of
the heating grid. ANY time you exceed manufacturers ratings that much
you are in for early failure. Also, the excess heat generated may easily
cause the rear window to shatter because of the extreme difference of
temperature between the outside of the glass and the inside.
You mentioned a ceramic heater in the letter reference below. Be warned,
that ANY heater (ceramic or electric heating coils) can be dangerous IF
tipped over. Yes, I know, you would be very careful and place the heater
safely. However, what's to prevent some idiot from banging into your car
(sliding in your notorious snow/ice) and thus dislodging the heater?
Think about where it would likely end up - on the back seat!
Hey, I like that tag line! I think I'll swipe it.
