Finally got to work after dealing with the more than 1/2" of ice on the roads........ Although I did have to make a little detour to the large empty parking lot to play a little ice drifting :smilewinkgrin:
How do you drift a front driver? Me, I use the handbrake, but it doesn't drift it just swaps direction. :arf:
Oh boy is it!!! Thats how I used to warm my old del sol up in the winter at work. Im amazed I never got yelled at for it. Damned CAI would make that engine take forever to warm up.
Makes me wonder if the Mini will act the same way if I put the CAI on if it gets this cold again next winter.
Even the stock intake is a cold air intake. Shouldn't make a difference. I'll be selling those here in Cowtown Mark. You can have the Dakota Territories.
Woohoo...it STARTED, after sitting in the garage for a week in this weather and with an 8 yr. old battery! I let it warm up and we went to the store. Ahhhh, nothing beats a car that starts when the weather is as bad as it has been around here this winter.
Your battery is on borrowed time my friend. Hope it doesn't leave you stranded half way to the donut shop. :donut1:
I agree with Chuck. Just replaced Blake's in his 05 R53. Glad we did it before the Siberian Cold came in!
On my way to work, there is this guy, probably homeless, who regularly sits on the street corner begging for money "for food". He puts on a pretty good act. Rarely do I see anybody actually give him anything, so today I drove up to him, handed him some breakfast buns and drove away. He said thank-you but there was this total shocked look on his face as I drove off. :wink:
True enough, but, WHO will have a battery to replace the one in the S right now? I imagine everyone is sold out and it will be awhile before new stock arrives, so I'll just have to make do until then and baby it along.
