Seriously, not fun at all... I spent a couple of hours outdoors this afternoon, helping a buddy swap the battery in his car (no garage)... frikkin' freezing!

It's fine to be honest. I live in a townhouse at the moment with the garage under the main living space - it keeps the garage at about 40F during the night so leaving in the morning is fine.

It's more of a problem when I leave a client and the car's been parked outside all day but I let it run for 1-2mins before driving off and keep the rev's < 3000rpm.

In both situations, when the heater starts cranking warm air (< 5mins), I know I'm good to rev the engine higher.

HOLY SHIT!

low of 39 here in O-town tonight (and thats cold)
haha

Xyloft · 01-15-2009, 10:35 PM

at a balmy 0F, i have no problems. i press start, it starts. motor feels fine, doesnt' stutter, etc.

reving above 3,000 has been pointless, since 0 is too cold for salt to work on the roads, and the roads are all slippery. overall though, I'd say no problems.

i was actually a little curious to see if it registered negative numbers. it stayed at 0 most of today, and it really felt colder (windchill was -20 to -30).

AZ135 · 01-15-2009, 10:50 PM

ummm... it was 75F in Phoenix today.

It amazes me just how long the oil temp takes to get up to normal, and that's at only - 4 degrees here in the UK.

Heinzftw · 01-16-2009, 03:14 AM

Coldest it EVER gets here is a brisk 20 degrees. Not too cold, but the damn wind is what always kills me.

Dave · 01-16-2009, 09:39 AM

wow -17!
i really thought the gauge did not go below 0 because it never did when i was in VT

TPLSM3 · 01-16-2009, 10:46 PM

I had -24* yesterday driving into work.... I'm in western suburb of Chicago. It hasn't been this cold since '96!

boxerdog · 01-17-2009, 12:49 AM

I wish I had seen this yesterday. Mine was at -23. A new F150 truck that sleep outside that night did not start. My 135 sounded a little hard for a few seconds but did just fine... Can't wait for all the ice to melt so that I can drive normally again..

Ryan@IND · 01-17-2009, 12:59 AM

-7F here in Chicago.. but I hear the windchill last night was anywhere betwen -22F to -40F

AdamG1164 · 01-17-2009, 08:43 AM
