today after getting off work i had to let my car warm up because it was about -8 degrees outside... let it warm for about 10, and then proceded to drive home... Whenever its this cold out (below zero) my car feels MUCH stronger than normal... does anybody else think so? I figure it has somthing to do with cold air being utilized mabey? Anyways once the car gets rolling the thermostat temp never climbs above the bottom beginning line just above the C, THATS how cold it is... So is this just me or what

If your heater is on at all it won't let the temperature guage get very high, that accompanied with the low temps will do that.
