I hate working in the snow

[MagicRat]

Any car enthusiat who lives where it gets cold knows what a miserable bitch it is to do any kind of work on your car outside.
Well, it's been snowing all day...............
My one-car garage has my Mustang in it, getting a cylinder head-ectomy.
My jeep needs an oil change and a new wheel bearing assembly (it rumbles too much) so...I have to do this in my driveway, IN THE SNOW!!!!!
I hate this crap.............I used to have access to a big, heated shop at work, but that's long gone now, so its back to the snow.
Now, if I drop a bolt in the snow.....its a bitch to find.....and when I DO, it STICKS to your hand because it's FREEZING, then it peels the skin off!!!
If I don't find the bolt....well the next time I use the snow blower, the auger will pick it up and fling it through the kitchen window.

And what do I hate most??? That I am such a CHEAP BASTARD I don't want to pay a mechanic $300 for something I can do on my own in a couple of hours!!!

I'm in southern Ontario..
Oh look I will have NO PROBLEM today!!
The temperature has SHOT UP to 30 deg. F. WOO HOO!!!!
Time to get the shorts out!!

I tell you, the only thing that should be repaired in the snow is a skidoo.

Last year I did a coolant change in 15* weather in the college parking lot on my friend's car which happens to be a camry. Use Boiling or HOT water you have time and it won't freeze. But I also had premixed coolant as well. I just had on bottle that wasn't mixed. Good luck.

suck it up you pansy's. i live in sask, and i live with it. oil changes when its -25 celcius, walking back a couple miles home because the god damn snowmobile died again. you always have the option to move, it may not lead to a good future, but dont say it isnt there.

Saskatchewan? Sorry to hear that, that's too bad...

LOL, i love it here. 45$ all coverage insurance on my two door V8 car. nice wark summers, lot of time to play hockey and snowmobile in the winter. the cold can suck, but id rather endure some cold and be able to play hockey.
