-28! Sheesh. Good news- car fired on first turn of the key. (Yaay, blockheater)
Bad news- had to do it from the back seat, cuz the front doors were frozen. They thawed eventually...

I washed my car, then went to the movies 4hours later. After the movies my locks were frozen and I snapped one of my keys trying to unlock my door  (standing in the AMC parkinglot in the freezing cold sucks). Aaron

Did anyone hear a shattering glass-like sound this morning at 7 a.m.? Those were my gonads breaking in the cold as I drove my heatless car to the dealer with a window open to keep the windshield from frosting up......

hmmmmmmm Seat heaters. I found it really hard to get heat into the engines yesterday of both cars. Had to alternate with the heater blowing then turning it off to let the engine warm up a little more. Took a good 20 kms for the Mystique to get up to heat on highway driving.

i dont know about you guys but my problem is getting in the rear doors! The excessivley large overlap on the mystiques rear doors seems to let in dirt and such in the summer and let in the moisture and freeze in the winter! No problems yet with starting eiether! Man last year i killed the battery 3 times!
