It's ok though... I'm busting my a$$ trying to see if a business idea I have is feasible... if so, go startup.
There is A LOT of interesting info on the internet... more than I thought there was.... very helpful.

VW coulda had it...
Ahem: speaking about cold and the RX8, yesterday it was about -9F when I left work, and my car made a horrible whirring/clicking/almost grinding noise as the engine started and attempted to find idle. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm concerned only because it seemed awfully non-rotary like: my WRX would have been rapping like a diesel. -16F this morning, but amazing what a difference parking in a non-heated detached garage makes.

Scary part is it's summer there at -60!
Yup, it's dry here too. Rel. humidity around 10-20%. Only -28 C this morning, so not too cold but there is a "nice" wind. Lots of fresh air! Got to go out and shovel snow, then to the car wash (salt!!!).

-40 here 2nd day in a row. My 8's in a heated garage at the dealership getting a scratch and dent fixed that were on the car when I got it. Driving a loaner '01 protege that doesn't like to start in this weather, had trouble finding the block heater plug looked like it had never been used.
At what temp does the 8 have trouble starting?
Has anyone had trouble starting theirs?
I've been parking in a garage at home outside at work. No trouble starting so far, temp. reads -20 C to -30 C (-4 F to -22 F). Haven't had it for the last few days of -40's.

Below that it will not start.
At -40 or lower if you try to take the engine cover off to get at the battery the cover cracks.

That's gotta hurt. Sounds like a workman's comp claim. Take a few days off and fly to Florida. Maybe it'll warm up while your gone. -10*F here in Wisconsin and I thought that was tough. I won't complain again for rest of the winter.

Well, we do have bars. 1 smoking bar, 1 non-smoking bar and a tree hugger bar. We even have ICE STOCK down here. The bands are pretty good. There is skiing, snow boarding and stuff. Most of the women are dikes or ugly, but some are OK. They all think they are playboy material because they outnumber guys. A 5 in the states would be a 9 here. I can't wait to get back for spring break in FL!!!!
