Have fun in Alaska with the seven...
My brother is in Fairbanks right now, and he has to plug in a heater/warmer to the oil pan every day, a few hours before he wants to go anywhere, just to that the oil will be warm enough to start the engine. Also has a heater hooked up to the cooling fluid. Also the cold sucks the life out of the battery so careful of that too. He's gone through a few of those as well.
Other than that, just do what you gotta do, and have fun!!!

Hey I live in Alaska, I live on the Kenai Peninsula which is about 500 miles from fairbanks, Its really nice up there and only cold in the winter, There is a member of this forum that lives up there I don't remember his name
Where I live there isnt as many people but I have seen 2 1st gens, 2 2nd gens. and 1 3rd gen.
but If you stationed in Fairbanks or Ancorage You will see many
Yes you do have to plug in you cars just about every where in Alaska
My brother went to school in fairbanks he had a cab heater a battery heater a pan heater and a circulating coolant heater, and that was on a Ford pickup I cant even imagine how dificult it would be to start a rotary at -40
I once had to start my fb at -25 F and it had a coolant heater that was plugged in all night and it still wouldn't start so I jacked up the front a little and put a desial space heater underneith it with a tarp over the front of the car, after about a hour it started

man im really sorry to hear the bad news that you have to be stationed in Alaska, and of all places in the Interior.
its alot warmer down in the Kenai peninsula than it is in Fairbanks,you'll never get used to -60 temps.
