Today its minus 9 but feels like minus 17 here in Toronto. I have driven the C8 in much colder temps a few years ago with no issues.
"minus 40" Good Lord do you live at the North Pole?

W just had our eighth consecutive night past -40 . We had wind chill of -57c which is-70.6 f . Some spots in central Alberta were even colder. -51 in Kettle Creek the other night . Ambient. Pull out of the driveway and it takes three or four blocks before the tires gain enough heat from friction to become round again. Make you think you have four flat tires. Those kinds of temperatures are brutal on all machinery. Metal can stress fracture very easily. Of course Toronto got 20 cm of snow and called out the military. We just put on our big parka and grab a shovel, lol.Today its minus 9 but feels like minus 17 here in Toronto. I have driven the C8 in much colder temps a few years ago with no issues.

I have to say if I ever encountered temps that low there is no way I would leave my house for months. My goodness that's insane!

As the saying goes, there is no cold weather, just inadequate clothing. Some just choose to stock up the wine cellar and load up the wood stove and tuck in. Or my preferred alternative. The tropics. Although unfortunately not this winter due to the luxury tax, lol.

Interesting .... So if two vegetarians are arguing, do you still call it a 'BEEF'....16 years now.I went vegetarian because of animal cruelty. I do not want to contribute to that. But to each his own.

So will all the methane emitted by vegetarians be subjected to taxes as well. Just curious. Not that there is anything wrong with being a vegetarian, it can be a healthy lifestyle if you can get enough protein and amino acids. But all that gas……

No offence intended towards vegetarians, I think the Cabin Fever is kicking in. May have to start drinking again.

Nothing against meat. End animal abuse/cruelty and I have no problem with it. Besides, I was never a meat eater in the first place. Meat was my side dish. So who wants to talk wheel hops, Rac?
