james_ls · 02-05-2007, 01:20 PM

Wow. It's actually getting ridiculous out there.

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

1988 Olds · 02-05-2007, 01:22 PM

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.

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.

CleanNeon98 · 02-05-2007, 03:36 PM

at least my intake is happy

Renegade_ · 02-05-2007, 06:25 PM

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
