My horror story is when I lived in Milwaukee and worked at AMC in Kenosha. One nite it was -25 degrees with about a 30 MPH wind. Wind chill was something like -110. We were at a company Christmas party and my car just wouldn't start. Tried for 2 hours to get it going and it finally started after jumping it with an old car with a huge battery(the new little car batteries just didn't work). Now the problem was the 45 minute drive in that weather in a car with a dead battery. If the car had died I would have been a popsicle since there was NO ONE one the roads. Sure glad that litle Renault Alliance made it!
