Car doors frozen shut this morning.  I had to pry one open.  The other took about 20 minutes of warming up before I could force it with my shoulder.

First day I regret giving the wife the garage…

[Giles]

Yeah, you bastard, she must be getting feckin freezing in there…...

[thomasnunnally]

Haha G!

That said she has a diesel and it starts up no problem in there every time.  So I think I saved myself a hassle regardless.

[natehate]

get a remote start installed, ive had one in my truck for years and love it

[scroogen]

I think the problem is when it's too cold the diesel engine just won't start.  My friend told me he remembers when he was a kid and his dad owned these trucks for plowing or something… the guy operating the trucks used to heat up the gas tanks with a huge torch to warm up the gas a little and get the trucks started when it was really cold

[natehate]

from my understanding the diesel is in the garage and his car is out side
so if he gets a remote starter on his regular gas vehicle he should be rocking

[scroogen]

ah, i see… you're right
sucks when your door is freezing shut. i guess a remove starter might help with that.  torch method is still way more badass

[natehate]

truth
but fucking up your paint would suck

if this just happened cuz the door seals were frozen together, then just try and put some vaseline (or some other heavy grease/wax) on them! should prevent them from freezing together again!…

Silicone spray is for that…..

[thomasnunnally]

Good suggestions….car is a 2002 Hyundai Accent I just want to keep running for another year or so, I want to keep the cost low.  I feel like an idiot for not considering the silicone spray...my dad would be disappointed in me.

If the car was newer, I would def go with the remote starter.  Most of my neighbors have those.

Diesel is fine in the garage without any extras.  At least so far....hasn't hit -30 yet....though I think one of those heated blankets on the engine would do the job.

oh man i had a old accent to, it was awesome cause i only paid a grand for it and didnt care about it
i kicked the shit out of that car
literally
it didnt have a straight panel on it
and when it died i filled it with scrap metal and got like 600 back out of it at the wreckers

Have to keep this in mind.  I can't sell or dispose of it in Canada, so I will have to do something with it in the near future.

[natehate]

why cant you sell it up here?

[thomasnunnally]

I am a "temporary worker" and I was told I shouldnot import my car, thus I cannot register it in Ontario.

[natehate]

ah i see
what about just scrapping it thou?
its like using the garbage

[thomasnunnally]

I suspect that is why they included that I can't "dispose" of it in Canada.

Though, I am not sure who is policing it.

It is still running pretty strong though, so I don't see having a problem getting it back to Philly.

Funny story though….it did breakdown (alternator went) right after I crossed the border on my way to my wedding.  That sucked.

[natehate]

hahaha thats awful

No curls in the squat rack. Ever.

[zwer]

You trying to get some squats in and some dumbass is standing in the rack doing curls?

Gym etiquette drives me crazy and I think it's personal trainers who are the worst. There's a massive trainer at my gym who's constantly in the way.
