we had heat until they turned it off at noon. By 2 it was worse than ever.

It's never going to change!! =)

How was school? Are you just in one class right now?

My employer just doesn't care about anybody, really. It's very clear to all of us.

killing time in here and abroad on broadband . It's -5 degrees out , and it's only 9:17 P.M. . At this rate could hit 14 below by 6 A.M.. . Thankfully both YARIS are in the garage . Usually about 10 degrees warmer in there than outside , poor things .

Mine started pretty good this morning and the windchill was -30. It was weird when I first took off, everything SOUNDED cold, like one good bump and the plastic parts could have shattered.

yes, a lot more noises...


Jill, it was -14 with a windchill of -30.....EVERYTHING is frozen. The seats were rock hard, the shifting was rough. In these temps it's expected.

take it that it's the original gear oil . If so , changing it out to a synthetic ( REDLINE MT-90 , AMSOIL MTG , etc, ) makes for amazing difference in shifting for those conditions . Hang in there .
