Jesus where do you guys live? Im in new york and its not that bad like 20F at the worst

 

No horrorstory here. -20F last night and my 180K`95Neon started right up. Killer heat too. Rescued it from the junkyard a year ago, it's still sporting a very old andunknown battery (says "economy", probably some cheap p.o.s.Walmart junk)
My backup winter beater is an old Dodge Power Ram, time tested and proven to start at -40F I ain't afraid of no cold

 

i think its about 0-5 degrees here today....me, my wife, and a friend of ours just got back from taking out the 4-wheelers.....sure was cold, but it was alot of fun

 

I was outside at the garage and i pee really bad. So i did right next to the garage door. A few minutes later I hear my girlfriend yelling. I go out and she slipped on my pee. HAHA. But she bent the fender on the neon so when i open the door it rubs now? Ha. Oh well.

 

I'm in Canada.... so I've had some experience with some cold. Not long ago I had to start my '98 in temperature of about -28 F. It started first try, it didn't like it, it moaned a bit. But overall I was pretty impressed. Warmed up fine too. I had no experience with Dodge in the cold, so I was unsure of what to expect. My '91 Ford Ranger will start no matter what, even in -40. Seems like Dodge are pretty good with cold too.

well its about 8:05 now school started at 8:00 and my car wont start its about 10-15 degrees and my car wontstart....so ya....don know what the hell im gonna do...

 

^^ Try boosting it.

 

Ilet my car warm up for like 18 minutes one day during the -20 below and it was still cold, but after 5 minutes of driving it warmed up quick. So now I just start it and leave it a few minutesto get the motor oiled up before I start driving it and then it warms up pretty quick during driving maybe 5-6 minutes total after start upbefore it starts throwing warm air. On a normal +20 degree day I can start it and have warm air by 4 minutes just sitting without driving. Usually the the windshield defrost gets warm first then the side window ones warm up during the drive.

 

^^^ Most 4-cylinders won't truly warm up until you start driving (raising the RPM's obviously).

 

yes I know...lol
