As you should and have.
Most of us living in the lower 48 don't need such measures. I certainly
never had to fiddle with fuel in my diesels.
And I don't think a diesel powered convertible is going to sell well in
Alaska.

Who knows?

Convertibles seem to sell well here in Minnesota, and we only
get a week or two of nice weather in the spring and then
another week or two again in the fall.

There's no comparison between a state poised to send Al Franken to the
Senate and a state governed by Sarah Palin.

Don't forget we had Jesse "The Body" Ventura as governor for 4
years. Actually, he didn't do that bad a job, but he was lucky
to be in charge while the state was running a budget surplus --
that cuts down on the number of unpleasant decisions that have
to be made.

Currently 100.4 in Sydney Australia.
Black NC is staying in the garage till later this evening when it
cools down a bit.

Funny thing is, I fly out to San Fran in a couple of days then doing
the drive from there to Vancouver up the Oregon coast.....should be a
nice change in climate BUT don't I wish I had the MX5 and not the
Pontiac G6 that I needed to rent.

I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace.

Actually I had him as mayor before that (Brooklyn Park, MN). I'd vote for
him anytime for anything. Especially if he'd punch out the incumbent on his
way in.

Naw, this time of the year, you would be better off in the G6. It is
fog and 44 deg's F here in Seattle today. The roads will be wet and not
too much fun for a MX-5.

Geez, compared to Eastern PA, that's a freakin' heatwave! It's
supposed to get all the way up to 14F today with a wind chill
of -8F.

14F? _That's_ a heatwave. This morning it was -23F in
Minneapolis and it hasn't been above zero for several days. I
think the high yesterday or the day before was -8F. But,
people in from the northern part of the state really have
something to complain about with temperatures as low as -40F
during the past couple days.

So far the Miata has started right up every time...

I can sympathize. I've been in Rochester, Minnesota at similar
temperatures in winter and at 101F in summer.

That seems to me to be an extreme range!
