Freezing outside? No problem!
Since I've only had my vette since April I had no idea how it would start and run in cold weather.
Took it out for a spin today with the temp hovering around 32 and it didn't even notice the difference. Just as smooth as ever. Even cranked right up after sitting in the parking lot for over an hour while I was looking around at Fry's. ;)
Thank God! :D

No kidding...I'm listening to the mess outside right now.
WeatherBug is showing 28 for C.D. Fulkes, which is just a mile or so away...
Luckily the vette lives in the garage. :yesnod:

I've been driving around with the temps in the teens. The car runs magnificent! I can really tell the difference with the temp. (Better that is.)

Yeh... I know. 81 is out of character even for Raleigh, but I just couldn't resist.
We might get some cold weather, but most likely no snow. That would be par.
Since I spent the first half of my life under 3 feet of snow and grey skies, I like to
kid about this stuff. Forgive me. :)
