I think my car was born in Florida or some other warm weather state. She spent some of her teenage years in Georgia, so she is definitely not prepared for Colorado!

Firstly, I can tell that she doesn’t like not being in a garage, even though it’s cold in the garage, it’s warmer than it is in a parking deck. I went out to the car tonight and it’s been snowing, so it’s a bit chilly. It was seven degrees when I got in the car, went down to five by the time I got out of the parking deck. After dinner, I had to go to the bank, it was one, then zero, a little chilly.

The temperature light keeps coming on, then the traction indicator. The two biggest tells are the stereo not coming on right away, sometimes I have to turn it on and off and on again and then there are the dash lights, when I turn on the headlights, the dash lights come on, tonight, the dials for the heat and direction of the heat didn’t come on right away.

The one thing that works right away…seat warmers, ahhhh. I put one pair of gloves at my back for when I have to get out and wear another pair I keep in the car. Let’s just say it was cold!

Even though she protested, she’s a trooper and got up and went. I did promise that I would get her a bath once a week, that seemed to help.

Stay warm my friends! Annie’s trying, you can too!
