Question Cool Down Timer

Hey folks,
Anyone know where I can get a good cool down timer for a reasonable price? Every three days I drive an hour to work @ about 70-75mph. Thing is by the time I get there I don't have time to always let it cool down. Thanks for any help!

Look here: http://www.motorhaven.com/home.php?cat=279. Other sponsors have them as well. Different places, different features.

i got a remote starter that has a cool down feature built in to it... best of both worlds... you can warm up or cool off before you leave, then when you get there, you push two buttons then take the key out, she'll run for 5 mins or 10 mins, whichever you select, then she'll shut off... if i have been towing, i monitor the egts and then shut her down...

Johnny8 - Where did you get the remote starter, I would really like to have one here in Alaska, cold winters, but heavy towing in the summer. I am fairly adept at installing things liek that so the manufacturere would be good.
Thanks

i got mine at best buy, it's a viper i think... my wife got it for me for christmas... she got it there because they do a good job installing them and they only install what they sell... it's soooo nice getting into a warm truck in the winter and a cool truck in the summer..!

you can get a remote start for a stick, but you have to have a safety switch installed which only lets you remote start if you are in neutral...
