There is such a thing as to cold for an engine.

yes

but if your car gets up to op temp the underhood heat will be what your car is taking in. granted itll be much cooler than in the summer, but unless you have your intake in the fender, or (cringe) a front mount filter, you wont get air thats too cold. the road conditions will keep you from driving hard enough to make that frigid air a liability though. which kind of defeats the purpose of colder air anyways.

actually, the best road conditions are when its the coldest.. it never snows past -20degrees Celcius or so.. not sure what temp it is exactly but the coldest weather i've experienced is always the best..

lol. I call it a futurish mail truck. They have the same general shape. I should fab up two pieces of bread and mold them on the top of the roof....as if the wind resistance isnt bad enough already....

it snowed 6-8 inches last night...all of it stuck, had to drive to school before the plows really came through.

still havent gotten stuck yet
thank god for car covers.

man, i have never driven in snow, i live in vegas, theres mt charleston but i havent driven there myself during winter. i have nothing but dry roads , and when it gets cold here, my car does kinda feel peppier. and the freezing point of water is i think 32 degrees farenheit.

[slideways...]

ahem, ahem, how cold does it get there?

btw it started snowing at 9:00pm last night(tues night)
and its still snowing. its supposed to stop sometime thursday night. good times.




still havent gotten stuck.


oh and even if it doesnt snow past -20, the cold roads will not provide the same grip as warm roads. so probably 50-60 degrees F is the best driving weather...not cold but not hot.

it was about freezing this morning, maybe freezing point because the roads were icy, but not too ice where you still have traction when stopping. I didnt drive my car to school and got a ride from a friend, his civic is gay when drifting, i wish i had mine...it was perfect conditions.

drifting in a civic is gay

[Hit_N_Run-player]

yeah, thats what i mean. He didnt even know it works better if you use the ebrake. We got about half way to school when i realized what he was trying to do, but couldnt get the car sideways (barely), then i tell him it helps in a FWD if you grab the ebrake. Hes an idiot, he got mad for me not telling him earlier

[XeVeNskyLiNE]

Supposedly its gonna snow here in Dallas friday or saturday. No driving for me.

i hate cold so much im glad we dont get snow but itd be cool to drift in snow. the past few weeks here in fl have gone up and down from 70 F to 30 F and back up ect ect. the closest thing to snow we get here is hail when we get hurricanes
