Plus a windchill makes it feel like it's -39. Even in celcius that is cold, my friends. So cold that the engine light came on. Now, I hope it's just the cold: the car was just in the auto body shop and I got it back yesterday.  Someone smashie-smashied my parked car and took out part of the driver's front bumper of my car. Almost $6000 worth of damage: ouch. Now insurance covered it all, and I got great service from everybody (note: use Enterprise renta  car: they pick you up!) and they do check for damage to the innard of the vechicle. All this to say I am *pretty* sure that the engine light is due to the cold. But... maybe not?  Once the car was warm, I turned it off, then on again to see what would happen withthe light. Still there. But again: I would direct you to the header of my blog. Minus 27... not including the windchill.

We are having a heat wave at my house. This morning it was 17 degrees. Tomorrow it is suppose to get down to 9 degrees. Come on down to TN and bring a bathing suit.

I want to order Enterprise just to see if the car is really wrapped in brown paper like the commercial.

j-cat the check engine light is probably a result of the accident. the light doesn't come on because of the temp outside.your car sets the light after it detects an issue 3 times(assuming it's 95-up) if you car has coolant(anti-freeze) i can't see why it would set a code. pm me if you have any questions
