Can't help mentioning the story - more or less on topic - of the high-gloss Italian car of the interbellum, that was supplied complete with, among many other accessories, two large copper tubs. In preparation for a winter ride, the owner/driver was supposed to drain the radiator in one, the oil carter in the other, and leave both basins on the kitchen stove overnight. Restoring their contents to their normal residence would ensure proper engine temperature for starting.
Must have been a Lamborghini, if it wasn't a Bugatti.
