Ugh, first day of 'winter'
Winter is here (in KW)
Went to drive home today and there was enough ice on my windows that they didn't want to "auto open" when you pull the door handle. Frozen solid.. so i had to wait for the car to warm to let it thaw.
Oh well, its fun to touch the gas and let the tail wag out a bit

It snowed in Virginia on Saturday. Pretty good blast of the white stuff.
Needless to say I was not impressed that my temp location brought me snow before my home town got it.
I think I need to ask for a refund

My TDI coughed a bit this morning. Man these diesels need a ton of juice to turn over in the cold. Tonight it's time to plug in the battery blanket.

Thye don't have one....VW tought their glow plug technology is so good that block heaters are nto required in the new TDIs. Figure that horse $hitout!
I can get a coolant heater (1500W) that will bring the engie almost up to operating temp in 2 hrs. BUT I only went with an electrical battery blanket last year. It seems to work well as it keeps the batery at optimal temperature for cranking. Maybe I need ot get the two 928 out of the garage! LOL
