Forecasting -29C here in Montreal tomorrow morning. That's gonna be one heck of a cold start. Haven't had starting issues since I got the car but the whole thing feels like it's waking up from its grave!

LOL. normally we don't see temps like this... typically the coldest we see is -20C (~ -15F) and it's only for a few days in the winter. the weird part is that is was about +45F on sunday...

i'd love to move to BC. but most of our family lives in the northeast.

Those are amazing! Here's mine. Driving to NorCal from SoCal through the "Grapevine", which on I-5 essentially is the line between SoCal and Central Cal, with an elevation of about 5000'. Took this almost exactly 3 years ago (within a week). Sorry for the blurry pic.

-37C with windchill this morning when I was driving to work. There were all sorts of creaks and rattles that I have never heard before. Even while locking/unlocking the car, I hear a sqeak from the lock actuators. Sigh...I just hope nothing crazy breaks in this cold.

i was hoping the same thing. my driver's door lock actually did not want to come up - when it's warmer it works fine.

solution - don't lock the car. :) where i live i could leave the keys in it without worry...
