Started on first try after 2 days of bitter cold Posted by MI-Roger [Email] (#882) [Profile/Gallery] (more from MI-Roger) on Thu, 31 Jan 2019 12:13:29 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Temps last night were minus 15 degrees F and my poor 9-5 has to stay outside while the Viggen 'vert lounges in the unheated garage with my wife's 9-3SC. Tuesday night Temps were brutal too, the daytime high yesterday was minus 6 degrees F.
Temps today are slowly inching upwards, now +1 degree F, so I started the car in preparation for the drive to work tomorrow morning. (My employer told everyone on Tuesday to work from home on Weds and Thurs so I am now caught up on desk work and PDH training necessary for my PE license.)
Car started on the first try, warmed it a minute or so, drove 2 miles to top up the fuel tank, then took the 4-mile long way home to give more opportunity for warming and charging.
Still wish I had an engine block heater...............
