Vintage Ice

This morning when I had to start up the vehicle I was aftraid it would blow up due to the -30ish degree weather.  When I got out of the pathfinder to let it run and warm up I for some reason walked away slowly thinking nice and easy....don't explode.  Instead it started despite being frozen like a block of ice....poor thing doesn't even have a block heater....something that is manditory when living in Northern British Columbia.  Then I was afraid it would fall apart as I drove....but despite it's age and km's I made it to my destinations.  There were however many unique sounds and grumblings.....overall I learned yet again you cannot judge a book by it's cover and despite the rust..eeerruummm....I mean vintage appearance our vehicle is road worthy in extreme cold.
