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

ahhh yes, burping the cooling system

that must suck cuz i know i have to watch out for my front bumper and i dont have a body kit

you can sut up now. lol.

its been below -20 -25 in the mornings (with windchill)for the past few days.

you cant even go outside w/o something covering your ears and fingers.

its weird b/c we have had a very warm winter up until about 3 weeks ago. now it is all cold?

damdog05 02-08-2007 11:08 PM

white and red...nice look. yeah that cold front isnt suppose to be able to make it over the mountains to get us. im hoping thats true

j3pz 02-09-2007 03:15 AM

its been in the 20's all week here. and i think thats cold. cant even imagine what -0 is like lol. although after you're on the ground under the car for two hours it aint that bad... once everythings numb you cant feel anything

mkIIIdraper 02-09-2007 02:06 PM

it's freezing here as well...but my grandpa has a heated garage and i may just wait till summer my dad can do amazing body work. however he doesn't have a heated garage.

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

damdog05 02-09-2007 09:33 PM

i had oil in my #6 spark plug when my car did that. check for oil

mine does that too...i think cuz its sooo collld out.
your battery gets so cold that it doesnt work well.
try leaving the trickle charge on all night if it is real bad

Supra2NR 02-11-2007 07:41 PM

I think its so cold the car has trouble starting
And cranking it too much, drains the battery
So I got those battery starters/charger
In case the battery gets discharged again

I was outside walmart, with a lighter trying to heat up my key
So I can open the door
And with the wind blowing it was a bitch
