This just sucks when its 22 degrees outside and you need to do work on your vehicles... Especially when you have no gurage to use ether so you gota work outside in the cold with the snow and ice... :(
 
What Natick, MA are you in? Its 33* at my house and all the snow is melted.

But yeah, it still does suck.

Finally we have a nice day out here in Colorado ~60° :sunshine:

Nothin to do to the jeep tho. Kind of a waste

Cruisin around with all 4 windows down was nice.

Yeah I feel the same way. I was replacing battery cables and an alternator when it was 5 degrees here. Not a whole lot of fun.
 
Yea, NOS, my XJ is down, open injector error from the obd scanner, the weekend mech says I need a valve job to fix the miss, scanner says #3 injector is open, my friend is going to look at it on monday. If it's a choice between a $1000 valve job or $2100 jasper engine I guess it gets a new motor this week. Was hoping the engine would last longer than 305,000....
 
We,ve got casinos out here, with stacked parking garages. Before my boss started letting me use our shop at night/weekends I would drive into the garage & work in there. It's a little warmer, much less windy & no snow falls on you. Just try to blend in & don't throw your tools & parts on the ground or security will boot ya...
 
ya, I hate working when its cold out, it just snowed today. Luckily my buddy owns the house next to him and the people just moved out so now its vacant. 2 car garage with nothing in it, probably would still be driving around with a bent control arm mount if it wasn't for this warm garage that he let me work in. plus a nice concrete floor is better than a rock driveway, those things hurt after you lay on them for long enough.

Rock driveways hurt just thinking about laying down on them...
 
My Honda place wanted $250 to replace a front lower control arm. I said screw that and got the part at the junk yard for $45 and bought this with the money I 'saved' It was 20 degrees when I replaced the arm, had it up to 65 in my garage. Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
