Hitler and the abominable snowman from the Rudolph The Rednose Reindeer are having a very horrible beastly sex under the hood of your car. Thus causing that unbearable low temperature...

I know this, because this morning I was at an IAT of 48* for the first 8 minutes of my morning drive... and that is the only theory that I could come up with for the fail box moving more than 30 ft without blowing up

greatest theory Ive heard since Darwin's theory of evolution, and the odds of probability are astounding, you my friend deserve a Nobel prize for this one!

Moving more than 30 ft , without blowing up ? Were you pushing? Was it on a flatbed?
