LOL!!
I hear ya, I shoveled some slush out of the garage this morning in my jammies!! hahahahaha!!

Trucks clearly don't like the -30*C weather either. Thing starts and it's howling like no tomorrow. Belts restretching, oil defreezing, driver still freezing.

I agree. F that S.

Last night I met a guy to buy some seats. He drove in from out of town and I met him at a gas station. It was 22 below AGAIN. In the process of loading the seats into the back of my truck, I accidentally touched the tailgate with the tip of my pinky finger. I felt a sting for a moment and as I yanked my hand away it left a piece of skin on the tailgate. Today is the last day though, it's going to get real warm next week. Into the low to mid 30's!

i am from Southwest Louisiana. i've never been in weather colder that 30 degrees. been in Memphis since August and the heat goin through this ram air sucks......but once this truck warms up to proper runnin temp (witch is damn near 210, y my truck runs better that hot i dunno) and the temp below 30 goes through the ram air feels so dam good. i think Serra can go from a 15.4 to a 15.35!!!
