In reply to stuart in mn :

It's a true story except they didn't rub my head or call me little buddy but they enjoyed a good laugh on my behalf.  

That's okay, just keep sending over those commissions.....

Power steering...

The coldest I've seen was -11F.  I had a Golf with manual steering.  The grease in the rack got so stiff that I could barely turn the wheel.

 

Hey, I'm happy that it started.  And that I'd blanked off the center dash vents the year before.  (VW ran the center vents from before the heater core, because hot air is bad for some reason. And they couldn't be closed)

As much as I don't care for the cold anymore, those -25C  mornings, the first few minutes are so nice. The suspension fluid is cold and thick, the grease is stiff, the gears whine,  everything feels tight and new. I love it.
