Default Winter!

Okay, so it was -20 degrees F in my city last night. I go to start the car this morning and guess what... chug chug chug, cough cough... (bleah!). No go, my friends. I cancel my breakfast date with my sister and call Hyundai Road Side Assistance and wait the required hour. They send a flat bed (nice of them, just in case I need a tow) and the guy gets my keys, he steps into my car... chug chug chug... brrrrrm! It started right up! granted it was already 10 degrees warmer than it was an hour ago, but shiat! Waste my time!

Okay, that is my beef for today. How was everyone else`s morning?

Sucks... Raiders lost last night, our office is set to "Broil" and I'm buried with the non-value added requests for information and specs and I'm trying to get my project lists together to figure out what I actually have to do for this year.

Yeah, we had the same temperature here too, and I forgot to plug in my battery warmer, and the car STILL started... and the battery is the original one that came with the car, so it's almost six years old.
I credit the synthetic oil I use, as it doesn't get as thick in cold weather.

Do you have winter wheels/tires, 'BOT? I'd hate to see those wheels get all messed up by road salt and shlt...
