That's weird. So it cranks just doesn't start? Or is it a weak battery?

I wonder if direct injection helps with cold starts?

I wonder if your actual starter is getting frozen.

You left in a shop overnight last year and fixed the problem right?

Have you tried boosting it in the off chance your battery is just being hatefull even though it's new?

I think the biggest issue with the car starting in the cold is the battery. if u don't have a good battery, with lots of cold cranking amps, good luck in -40

My black cloud of flying still continues to follow me. Plane was broken in LA. Left 5 hours later, missed my connecting flight in Vancouver and can't get on another flight till 8:30am tomorrow. Air Canada paid for my hotel. I will also be making them pay for my missed work wages for tomorrow too. FML.
