First off its 31 before zero here [windchill]
So..went to go start my car started right up besides some minor hesitiation and a bit of weird starting noises. Let it run for 20 mins..thought it'd be super warm and toasty in the car. Not at all, Its cold as it is outside almost. I pop the hood and coolant lines are dead dead and filled with soild ice ! Should i let it run untill the engine warms up enough to thaw it out or what.. This is a new one for me. =[ Its in the garage right now with the heaters on...Hope that helps a bit. ~prays ~ =/ --------------------  |
