Wow. It's actually getting ridiculous out there.

If it snowed; it would most likely be warmer woudlnt' it...like insulation?

No idea, But yeah my mom's car barely started today. I didn't even attempt to take mine and just drove my dad's van.

When its freezing cold your supposed to start you car and hold it at 5000 rpms for a minute or so. It will warm up alot faster.
Ha, Id love to watch someone do that, maybe Id get lucky and watch a hole getting blown through the block.

Well, just because it's cold out doesn't mean it's going to snow.

My forecast is flurries on Tue late night/Wed morning. I did notice two **possible** nor'easters between the 16th and 20th..

It's electric. Needs a 30Amp 240 Volt circuit.


My garage is ~22'x25', block walls, sheet rock ceiling, leaky windows/doors, totally NOT insulated. This unit heats the garage 20* in 40 minutes. I got rid of my old coal stove because of the danger with gas fumes and shtuff.

I have yet to have my car not start - Instead of my starter cranking really quickly, it just seems to crank a bit slower. Still takes 4 cranks of the starter to start the car though.

drew 02-05-2007 06:26 PM

i tried to start my car and drive right away, haha badddd idea

**** was having a seizure for a block slamming back and fourth like i dumped the clutch and was about to stall
