    I really have to love my heated underground parking on days like this. Took the elevator down to my truck this morning, started it and the outside temp said +17 degrees. Of course, I have a sneeking feeling that driving the truck outside and having an instant 40 degree temp change isn't all that good for it....but I'm ok with it! Went to work and immediatly plugged in the block heater all day!!! Brrrrrrr!

    You know it is cold when you drive a small car outside and you see the temp gauge DROPPING AS YOU DRIVE!
