I never thought cold weather could be so hard on a car. I got into my garage, and brushed the loose snow off my header panel after using the sprayers to deice my windshield, and found this:
And no, I don't dilute it.

Kill Me
It's -40 degrees right now and my car hasn't started for two days. I plugged it in for a day and charged the battery and it still starts to fire up but if you hit the gas at all it dies. Tried pushing it into the garage to heat the whole car up but three of is couldnt get it up my drive way. Any Suggestions?

Are you adding gas-line anti-freeze on a regular basis? You lines could be freezing up. Mine did that yesterday, and a bottle of the stuff sorted it right out. It didn't quite crack -40 here, more like -33 or so. We've been spoiled the last few winters. It's usually -30 on a regular basis in Dec-Jan. Aside from the week or so, it's been fairly mild.

So you don't have to kill yourself.
