    Now that's cold baby!

    This post could go here or in the 3 mystery hoses thread....

    OK, (insert Mark's 2 custom frozen icons here)



    DONE !...


    Good plan Dub, to wait a bit before messing with the bonnet! Growing up in Pittsburgh, one month in my last semester of college it was in the - teens for about 3 weeks. Had a '77 Celica, hood opened from the windshield side, & had to shoot ether into the carb each morning to get it started to get to college. One morning during "finals week" doing that when it was like -19, one of the hood hinges just broke off...frozen metal just sheared off...so just closed it up, drove on as I had to take those finals. Luckily the hood closed the way it did so it couldn't fly up while driving. Brrrrrr!

    Another morning that week, the door wouldn't latch after I got in, the latchy thing was frozen and wouldn't engage. Had to crank the heat to high, drive around a parking lot hanging onto the door handle until the cabin warmed the door enough to latch....Brrrrrr!...

    OK, definitely confirmed my decision to move to Calif after graduation!

    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.

    My door hinges are making a horrendous noise, but it's just too cold to do much about it.

    L0L...I went back to his original post & hit the "quote" button, then copied the siq (smilies in question) & pasted them into your message...

    Since I have a drop or two of moderation juice in my little slice of VX-I, I can do a bit of editing in other peoples posts.........
