    I hate weather like this.

    I needed the AC on the way home from work, but I won't smoke my pipe with the window all the way up, so the AC is kinda' wasted... but I'll do it anyways.

    Now when it's 95+ outside? Nope... window stays up and the pipe stays in the pouch.

    Haven't started the taco in -40 but lived a few years where it hits -40 C. Which. Coincidentally is where Celsius and Farenheit merge so it equals -40 F

    You needed a battery warmer blanket and a block heater. Otherwise you are trying to turnover the engine in molasses with a dead battery

    The shocks are frozen and the foam in your seats turn to a brick.

    But it will run, and eventually soften up

    Oh, and gasoline antifreeze at every fillup. Any moisture and your lines are frozen.

    -40 plus. The temp gauge said -40 but we also had a lot of wind so with the wind chill, I know it was a lot colder.

    Not anymore. Ethanol in gas is a very good antifreeze. The only difference is that ethanol is made from corn and Isopropyl is made chemically. Both are simply alcohol.

    Do the math: 20 gallons of gas has 2 gallons of ethanol, which is much more that a little bottle of gas line antifreeze ;)
