Unfortunately up here in Canada, temperatures can dip down to -22 F, which can be a problem for vehicles. I just discovered that my block heater isn't working, and while my car will turn over (the battery is good) it just won't start in this cold. It's currently stuck on the 4th floor of a parking garage.
I was thinking about taking a blow torch to the oil pan (at some distance away) just to heat up the engine, but I realize this has the potential to lead to those epic fail threads that end up being 30 pages long and get attention all over the Internet. I guess I could get it towed to a heated garage, but that could be expensive. Any other ideas?
