Default Austin is gonna hit 20 degrees tonight, my baby is outside in the cold....

The weather is really bad in central texas and I have to leave my baby outside. What would you suggest I do to keep the weather from cracking anything vital?
thanks

One cold night in Austin, Texas isn't going to hurt your car.

A car cover can help but the best thing really is to keep the car in a covered area or garage if possible. 20 degs isn't that bad.

I'm with you, there is nothing wrong with leaving your car in 0-20 degree weather, nothing is going to happen to the engine, that is if you have maintain the engine properly, like changing hose's and belt's , but when starting your car tomorrow in 20 degrees hahaha, let the electronics get in for about 20-30 seconds then start your (baby) and let it warm, do that and you'll be fine.

It's not going to do anyhting to your car, unless it frosts over, you might make sure you have it waxed or it might not be too good for the paint. But other than that, just make sure you let it warm up before you drive anywhere.

Jeepers. Come NORTH one day and you will see cars are still around. Try driving when it is <10 F because the salt does not even melt the snow.

Yea 20 degrees is nothing to worry about...been in the negatives at night here in Denver the last few days. Highs aren't even getting over freezing. My poor car is frozen when I go to work in the mornings

Think positive and take your car out for a ride.
Any kind of intake you have automatically becomes CAI.

try living in leadville colorado where the average temp during the winter is about 15 degrees. it's gotten a lot colder than that though. get over it dude 20 degrees isn't anything, atrat worrying when it gets to be -15 out.

Booo Hooo poor integra!!!!!!!

Try coming up north for a winter and see how your car feels. Cold weather will not do any damage to your car just sitting outside, mine sits outside all day and all night, and no the paint isn't falling off, and the block isn't cracking or anything.

My suggestion:
Crank up the heat when you get in tomorrow morning!!!!!

Later,
Jon
