This weather can lick my *****.

I wanted to work on my car this weekend but the shop I use is heated with a wood stove. Would have taken dayz to get it up to temp. Ugh. If December is bringing this I don't even wanna know what January has to offer.

Ya really odd why your car won't fire. Ecotecs are camps in the cold. I never plug my car in and never misses a beat starting up. Knock on wood haha.

I can't stand working in the cold. That's why I wanna be in a body shop. They have to be warm.

Last Winter after I got my new battery my car never skipped a beat in the cold.

If I ever need to Winter beat it again I think I'm gonna get a oil pan heater though.

Had mine for 5 years all winters without oilpan heater. Never failed me except for a battery (my fault)

Best winter car I've driven aside from my girlfriends car. Now that I got her winter tires it will be crazy good.

Most people drive winter beaters to keep there fun car in better shape though...

I dunno. Do those springs do anything for handling or just make you lower?

That's what you you're on in your sig?
