You guys are lucky -- at least you have somewhat warm days to fiddle around on the cars!!! Up here around MD/DE it's been a high in the 20's!

Too damn cold to do anything outside! I still need to change my oil on both cars. Please get warm soon

It is frighting cold in Carbondale Illinois too. I am also from the north. I just don't drive my car when it is that cold outside. I have to spend 10 minutes just to warm up my hands.

Crap, me too. I'm a warm weather person, so me and cold dont mix. It was 47* here in Cove, AR today but the wind made it worse.

I'm glad I added an adjustable tempature switch for my fan. In the summer I can make the mighty 2.8 run cool and in the winter make it run nice and warm. Lucky me

Last winter when I was removing all 6 layers of paint off of my car with a da sander in 20* weather for 6 hrs strait. I wasnt bad but I took off the muffler for the extra rpms and the air exhaust vent the da had was shoting out ice sickles onto my hands. Theres nothing like not being able to feel your hands and fingers.

, can beat that. Over christmas break(22-23-24-25-26), was teens outside, and I am under my car(though in a garage) with it MAYBE 16" off the ground replacing the clutch. 3 days, working 9 hours stright. Nothing like removing the trans in 3 parts!, than having to wait till after christmas day so I can get the freggin flywheel.
