That's cold! My G hasn't been driven in the cold so I don't really know how they work in those temps.

Apparently the warning lights for the coupe and the sedan come on at different variances, according to the manual. IIRC the coupe is at 29 psi and the sedan 25.

Did it crank at all? Last night when mine was cranking, all of the idiot lights on the dash blinked to the rhythm of the starter pulses and I was wondering if those voltage drops would affect memory on the various systems...

No problems here, but my timer works. Also I smartened up today and brought a cord with me, and plugged in at the parkade. Hopefully it actually has juice and is not simply decorative.

It tried really hard to start, but ultimately it just won't go. I'm stranded at home now.

With the temps you guys are getting, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Well, I got to the office at around 10:15...without the G. I think I might have to destroy that stupid timer Office Space style when I get home.

Boys, this morning for me was -41 that's with the windchill. Holy crap was it cold with winds too. So the blizzard did come my way and I think it's headed to the East side. Anyhow, I plugged in my G last night, but didn't start him this morning ... so I hope he's okay when get home.

That sucks Mare, I had to leave my G at home too. It got down to about -45 with wind chill her last night. It's about -43 with wind chill now.

No worries, the system is apparently moving East as it finishes up its destruction here...
