 Posted: 01/23/04 - 15:34 Post subject: My Car Started
which isn't a big deal to most of you, but I haven't been out of the house since I came home wed. afternoon. Temps dropped dramatically since then and I didn't even start my car yesterday. No garage at this apt. so it sits outside. it's 12F right now. I thought it would be frozen up. But hooray for me, it started right up.

Mine have been starting fine but it takes a bit to get it warmed up inside. We have an unheated detached garage, btw.
I hope that I haven't jinxed myself.

I had to pull my left front tire off my truck yesterday evening, install the spare and take the bad one to get it fixed. Slow leak was getting considerably faster. And then I got to replace a headlight.... All this at 10 deg F temps with a fine 15 mph wind coming across the driveway. truck won't quite fit in garage.....

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say you were griping. It was actually directed at Keltics  about his car starting.
