Default Horrible News!!!!!!!

I was "burping" the cooling system after a full system flush and cleaning, and new thermostat. I went to drive up on a bank to get the radiator higher than the heater core and "CRUNCH"!!!!! my bodykit caught the ground. and ripped almost off... I have tons of luck alright. but all of it is bad! i'll post pics when it gets daylight. now i have some bodywork to do whoopee

The lowerst we got this week was up to
-18 degrees with the windchill
I came from the carwash when I got home 5 minutes later I couldn't even lock my door cuz the keyhole froze on me
It was hard even trying to open the friggin door
nd does anybody have any fix on this:
My car has a hard time starting in the cold
It takes 4 - 5 times cranking it b4 it starts
