Mine protested for a couple of seconds upon cranking this morning at -6 degrees. Still, it started and ran OK.

-11 by my thermometer this morning. She still started right away, but that first kick was a hard one though. Amazing stuff with the 4 year old stock battery that's been relocated to the trunk!!!

Typical VW crap battery!
VW factory battery is usually good for about 2 years. Here I am on year 4. Plus the fact that it was cracked and leaking acid didn't help either (which I didn't find out until the service guys lifted it up. We shall see how the new Interstate 700CCA battery I got holds up.

-16 in Blaine this morning! Ross complained a little, like a "Do I have to?", but he started up quick and ran without a hitch. Can't complain with no block heater and a shade under 145,000 miles!

So does anyone think it's going to get any colder this winter? When are we going to see warmer weather?
Today I was happy to see the temperature above 0 degrees.
