Matt, your not human....... your a welding GOD hahahahaha. That's shitty that the engine blew because of that but I hope it's under warrenty then.

I haven't had an issue with my car so far and I haven't had it plugged then. the only problem really has been tire pressure (from sitting in the cold for so long) So it's normal I guess. Should have gotten the hydrogen put in my tires (is that what it's called cause I think it's wrong :S)

Calgary gets 15C in January, the rest of Northern Alberta most certainly does not, Cruisin is 3 hours away from Calgary last I knew.

If that happens to me is it warranty? When it is -30C outside and my car has been sitting in it I certainly do not sit in my car while it warms up. Start, and RUN back to warmth wherever that may be lol, and I don't go back for 10-15mins, at that point I usually start driving..........i really need to get a bunch of gauges so I can monitor this stuff and ensure I don't break my Torque Monkey.
