If you wash your jeep when it's -17*C out you may wanna refrain from giving then engine bay a squirt or else your throttle may freeze wide open. Ask me how I know!  :o


(I know, it just doesn't make sense if you think about it right?)

I washed mine last time it was super cold out and had all the doors freeze shut on me. Lucky my teacher got a laugh out of it and I got to rewrite my test.

Seriously? I am guessing that you 2 geniuses didn't know that water becomes a solid below 32*F, did you?

Smart like tractor.

Ill have you know, my 1965 Massey Ferguson still starts and runs great at temps way below that! I even managed to get er goin last winter in the -20*f range mind you it was with a shot of ether though ;) Yes,  I know Ether is bad... (for starting motors, and I forget what else but it smells so good.....) but thats for another post.

Also, no doors or locks to freeze on it! Just the cold vinyl seat.


*EDITED JUST FOR YOU SPECIAL K*  ::)
