    Its so cold that I hit peak boost just starting the car:yumyum::biggrin:

    I have no complaints about cold weather.


    Fact- The lowest temperature ever recorded on earth was -129F recorded in 1983....and you ask where? Russian Base Vostok in Antarctica

    The lowest temperature ever recorded in the United States was -80 °F (-62 °C) on January 23, 1971 at Prospect Creek Camp, located near the Arctic Circle along the Alaska pipeline. This is not much warmer than the -81.4 °F record low for North America that Snag in the Yukon dropped to on February 3, 1947. On that record cold February day, Tanacross Alaska reached -75 °F.
    The continental US hit its coldest recorded temperature of -70 °F on January 20, 1954 at Rogers Pass, Montana. The pass sits at 5,470 feet elevation in the Rocky Mountains, northwest of Helena.

    do cars even start in that kind of temperature? I really hope you have a heated garage.

    I expect they do, I'm sure mine would have a difficult time, but it would start. But as a precaution, rich you should open up one of your heated stalls to push a car into if it wont start

    I have a heated garage but its paked with 5 cars snowmobiles and the rhino so my work car stays outside, I dont have a block heater or anything but it starts right up. I work midnights this week so it sits outside at work also. The only thing that sucks is when you try to take a turn the power steering doesnt work and the brakes are real slow. other than that the cold doesnt bother me.

    parents keep saying no, but I keep nagging them. so as of right now I dont know, we might just shut down early and when the ice race comes we might open up for that week only. it cost over $1000 a month to heat the cabins and with the ****ty economy no one is renting them.

    In place of the dipstick, obviously not while its running, then you plug it into the wall.
