Sorry to hear the cold is giving you trouble.
I wonder if I have any filament light bulbs I
can leave under the hood. Today I did use a
ceramic space heater to help thaw pipes.

My truck won't start on ether, so my main
mechanic suggests some heat on the distributor
cap, in case there is water in there.


I'm not bragging or anything, but it was -2 this morning and both my '04
and my wife's '05 started with one push of the remote from my nice warm
living room. My daughter had to go out and start her '02, but it turned
over on the first try.

My wife's car usually stalls right after starting when it's below 20 or so,
but the remote automatically tries again and it always stays running on the
second try.

I've never had a car, that didn't have something wrong with it, that
didn't start, even below -20F. I have had batteries fail,
unexpectedly (well, I should have expected) at much higher
temperatures but if the car is in good working order it should start
at much temperatures *much* below what you've seen.

I know I'm wasting gas/money, but it's safer to drive when you're not
shivering. ;-)

I don't like them because I've been burned by them killing the
battery. No thanks.

Why do you say "them"? Didn't you once say:

"We've had one. That was enough to cure me of that particular laziness."

It's a well known problem. They (after market) will void warranties.

First - WTF? Where did I say anything about warranties? I quoted a line
form one of your posts regarding the "one" remote starter you had and then
asked why you said "I've burned by _them_ killing the battery." It was a
single vs. multiple question. Did you bring up warranties to avoid
answering the specific question I asked?


Liar?

Stupid? Illiterate? Sure, of course you are.

Mirror mirror on the wall...
