Cold getting to you yet?
 

Damn it was cold this weekend!!! high was -5 the whole time and dipped down to -13 on Friday night, -15 on Sat night, and -18 on Sunday night! I let the evo sit since like 6pm on Friday and I was worried my little mini battery kit would not want to turn over...it was like -16 when I went to crank her over, but she fired right up! 5w30 FTW! :P

We took Anna's car out shopping on Saturday and I could not believe how many people were out and about. Guess we Minnesotans are supa tough! Turbo helped keep me warm all weekend, he insisted on laying on me the whole time :D

Everyone else hanging ok with the cold?

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

I'm still alive and was downtown Fri, Sat, and Sun night! The Laser fires right up and runs like a champ with 10W-30 and a Walmart battery.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Yea umm actually did more in the past week during this cold spell than I have all winter. Theres no way the weather is holding me down. Thats why people created heat, jackets, and gloves. Sure its cold as hell but once your back inside its no big deal.

Toughen up people.

btw yea the audi pops up everytime :)

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Yeah, walking like 6 blocks home at 2 am Saturday night (or Sunday morning depending on how you look at it) wasnt a whole lot of fun. I dont know, cold like this is an excellent reason not to go to lecture :D.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

I got today and tomarrow off of work because of the cold. my Truck wouldnt start last night had it on the Battery charger over night hopefully it will start today.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

We had a rought time starting the Prisim the other day after leraving it outside but she ended up firing up pretty well. Sat we did venture out to pick up a new TV for the living room, it was cold, but tollerable. Yesterday I stayed inside all day. The neighbors furnace gave out yesterday morning and it was dipping below 50 degrees in their house. With a little boy over there we invited them over, but while they waited for the service guy to show up we sent over a heater to use. Would of sucked to not have heat yesterday.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Well, 2 out of 3 cars are dead, and the one that does run has the hood frozen shut. I'm doin swell. Fuck this state :madashell:

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Spring cant get here soon enough, but really cant complain Red Rocket never had a problem every 7 hrs. Id fire her up let her run for awhile. "It seems colder for me cause I got Metal in my Back"

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

The cold doesn't bother me too much I guess. I was outside working on the truck 2 weekends ago and although not as cold as this past one it wasn't exactly warm.

What bothers me the most is we bought a boat last September and only got to take it out twice before we had to put it in storage. So now I'm getting VERY impatient in waiting for spring to get here.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Yeah tell me about it, i was freezing this weekend, At around 2am it was like 53 Degrees, I felt like i was gonna freeze to death, so i got under my heated blanket and went to bed. I dont know how i survive down here in So cal.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Damn that sucks Tom, I feel for ya bro :(

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

yeah, the rolla couldn't hack it spending the night outside, but i guess it doesn't help that i have drained the battery at least a handful of times already.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

I wish it would warm up to at least 30's soon because I need to pull the transmission out of my old car and I will be doing it in a non-heated garage.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Well, my car cranks slowely. I gotta turn the fuel on for a bit firtst, because it sounds like it's fricken frozen in the lines! But, once that's "flushed", the cranking starts. It takes a bit to turn it over, but once it fires up and warms up a bit, she's good for the day. I left it at st. kate's over night on sat., and she did fine sunday afternoon when I left before the game started. deep-cycle optima battery FTW!!

It's Pretty nice out today. I hope this is a sign of good weather to come. The part that sucks is that my dad insists to have the window in the laundry room open, because it's too "warm" in the basement for our computers. My room is next door, so it's rather freezing. I have 3 comforters, 6 blankets, 2 sheets, and it's still borderline not enough.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

I'm pretty happy. I went and started all 15 cars I have in inventory and all but 2 started right up. Not bad.

Days like this make me wonder when this Global Warming scare is actually coming, we could sure use it this winter. Speaking of that, I heard Gore is getting ready to release his global cooling movie now, the one he made simultaneously with his other movie "An Inconvenient Theory". It fits a little better right now. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

I am so glad that my garage is insulated and heated. I keep it at 48 degrees. It sure was nice jumping into a warm car this morning.

Of course, my natural gas bill is out of this world. :(

later,
Curt

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Ohh yea tell me about it. 70 degree underground parking is sure nice. :)

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Wow -16 I hate to see what the windchill was. But out here in Cleveland it is 7 degrees. But the windchill is down there making it feel like -20 haha sucks to be the Grandam

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

It's 2 degrees here in Ames right now so I guess I should feel lucky haha.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Ames has been nice during this cold snap. I pulled out my Carhart coveralls for class a couple times last week so I've always stayed warm.

On the other hand, back in Decorah, 3 of the 4 normally operational vehicles at my parent's house did not start this morning.
'92 Grand Am-->Nope
'99 Dakota-->Nope
'99 Cherokee-->Nope
'01 Alero-->Yep

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

arizona is nice, haha bitches.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

It better be in March. :banana:

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Ya my galant wouldn't start this morning. I had to jump it with the talon, and it still took like 30 seconds of cranking to get the bastard to start. I just put in a brand new battery. I'm guessing the one in there was the stock one, which would be like 6 years old. It starts up real nice now with the new battery.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Shows what you know, I guess. Global warming causes greater extremes: hotter in the summer (I don't know if you know this, but it was in the 90's and 100's for two weeks straight last summer in Minnesota) and colder in the winter (like right now).

These weather patterns will become more evident as time moves along. You'll see! DOOMS DAY!!! AAAAARRGGGGGHHH!!!

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

The 'ol rickshaw started right up on the first try. I love this truck. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.

And yeah, AZ is nice. I think I might move there in a couple years. Or maybe I'll become a snowbird and just go down there in the winter. :D

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

we had 2 cars come in to day with frozen radiators and both need engines now.
but the talon started right up for me this morring with out a problem.
fuck the cold I will be in FL on fri afternoon

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Wow thats crazy. To much water over Antifreeze. Witch reminds me I have to check the fluids on the GA and Minivan. Ugh wish it will warm up more to make it easyer to check them. I hate standing in the cold.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

The '93 merc grand marquis with 130,000 miles, full power everything, digital dash, air suspension with compressor, no tune up and a who knows how old battery fired right up after sitting outside for the entire weekend.

Maybe the exception to the rule with Ford's.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

I think you mean "climate change" the new term coined when "global warming" came under fire. Don't worry, the scare will be over after the 2008 election.

Oh, and in case you didn't know, it hits 90's every year and 100's almost every year, it has in my 38 years here. Thanks for the meteorological update, you've got things all figured out. :jackoff:

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Lets not get into this stupid debate. Plenty of things your doing fatty that arent helping emmisions ;)

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

"Global Warming" is a bs political term, it doesn't exist.

It was nice driving home from Arkansas and having the temp drop steadily. :(.

I was golfing saturday and sunday down there, it was "unseasonably cold" and was 42 on satuday, 48 degrees on sunday.

Re: Cold getting to you yet?
 

Last night was really nice, it stayed around 60 even when it was dark. We just got a pool table and put it in the game room which has a lot of windows so its usually pretty chilly in there, but last night it was nice and toasty. :)
