..yesterday monring at something below -20*C (-4*F) without too many
complaints.  Only problem is operating the key with mitts on.  Actually
it's that the ignition is a little sticky when cold.  But boy-o-boy that
Redline works like a doo-be-dang in these temperatures.  Compared to my
98 Golf (whose gearshift barely can be moved!!)

This morning it's -30*C (-22*F).  I don't think I'll try starting it for
a bit.  Along those lines, anyone used a Coleman Black Cat as a block
heater? ;-)
