Everything! Both doors, both windows, both windshield wipers and the antenna.:D

It was 8 degrees F, not that cold, but yesterday it was 47 and raining.

When I finally got in it, it started right up though.:)
 
Yea mine freezes up on a regular basis when it rains then get really cold. I just bang on the door frame and it usually frees up the ice.
 
I sometimes have that problem. This morning it was -4 without windchill. The car was in the garage so no freezing this time, but man she felt "stiff" when first driving even after a little warm up time.
 
Yes, it's been in the single digits a lot here lateley and the whole car (red :)) feels stiff. I forgot to mention the shock absorbers were frozen too.:)

I usually use a blow drier to thaw out the doors but it was too windy for that. I had to use a spoon wrapped in a rag to pry it open.

Wind chill doesn't affect cars. It's just about our skin. I agree with a local weatherman, Sonny Elliot, that wind chill is just a bunch of hype. For us to really feel that cold, we'd have to be standing outside naked. :D
 
Yeah, I know, that's a great word.:D

If I could bring myself to kick even one of those old convertibles out of the garage (which I can't :)) I'd put the green Mark in there. The red Mark would still be left out in the cold.:frown:

I've got one fatality from the freeze up. My power antenna won't go all the way down now. I should have unplugged it.:frown:
