Operating temp... I have a 01 WS6...NOT is about 210*. Lately it has been having problems with getting up to NOT. IF I let it sit at an idle in the driveway, it takes about 10-15 min to reach NOT...is that normal time? When driving, it takes significantly longer....maybe 20-30 min. Sometimes it doesnt even reach operating temp....keep in mind it is 10* here right now. Thermostat going bad? or am I just imagining things?

It's been 0-10*F in Chicago lately too. My daily driver Bonneville has been taking forever to warm up also. Same with my wife's Cavalier. And if I have the heat on full blast sometimes they won't warm up fully either.
I wouldn't worry about it. Wait and see how it does when we get some weather above freezing.....

Yea i'll have to see how it does later this week..we are finally getting up to like 33*!! It's the first time I've driven it this winter, and only cuz the roads are clean and weather is sunny. Hopefully everything is good...
