car has an ambient temperature guage. Those temps include windchill, etc. Does the car gauge even show negative temps?

OH PUHLEASE!!

In the winter here we get down to -40°C. not including windchill effect. With windchill we can hit -60°C.

Getting temps like -1 in the winter is sun tanning weather!

Almost. We see temps around 35 - 37C fairly often in the summer.

Yeah, it makes you wonder where all this "global warming" is. Were not seeing it here.
