Default Talking of operating temp, what is everyones city driving temp ?

Mine reaches around 215F + or - 5F. It occasionally goes higher, maybe 225F.

Default My drive to my office is very short (0.1 mile) so I never get up to op. temp,

but last night when it was in the mid-teens, I was suprised athow fast it got to operating temp. Runs strong in the cold dense air.

Default Time to build a garage to keep the baby warm on these cold nights. ;-)

My home project for this Spring is to put insulation and drywall up on the three walls of my garage that do not have it. Not to keep the cars warmer, although that is an added advantage, but to keep the master bedroom which is right above the garage slightly warmer during the winter.

Default -20c (-4 F) in Ottawa this AM. -30c with windchill factored in...

...evn with the car outside all night there was no problem.

We've been have a few nights in the -20's (c) lately. Nippy...

In case anyone cares or is curious:
c -> f : c x 9 / 5 + 32 = f
f -> c : (f - 32) * 5 / 9 = c

Default mental note to self.. avoid visits to Nortel and other companies in Kanata.

I went winter camping a couple hours north east of Ottawa once.. and the car read -40C. Good thing there wasn't much wind.. but I must say, it gets friggin cold up where you are.
