Default Ice road truckers

On the OPs question, DDC discovered that a reasonably common technique
for starting a cold truck is to light a small bonfire underneath it.
They made this discovery after they fitted plastic oil-sumps (lighter,
cheaper) to their engines and then got a lot of warranty claims :-)


I thought everyone knew truckers did that in cold climes?
