...my car almost didn't start. That's never happened before. It's only -15

papermint tiger
I say 'only' because tomorrow will be -29

papermint tiger
this will be fun

papermint tiger
I'm gonna let it warm up for a bit before i try going anywhere

Half Blood
do you plug it in at night? that will help it

papermint tiger
...plug it in

papermint tiger
is that a joke, i'm honestly confused XD

papermint tiger
anyway on the drive home it started bitching at me that it was cold

papermint tiger
which i find oddly hilarious XD

Half Blood
um hard to explain but isn't there a cord under the hood?

𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
oh yeah I've heard of this!

papermint tiger
o_o

papermint tiger
um. Wow, i had no idea that was a thing!

𝔯𝔞𝔦𝔫𝔟𝔬𝔴 𝔭𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔠𝑦~
like we don't do it around here because it usually doesn't get that cold but

papermint tiger
unfortunately i don't think we have an outdoor plug

𝕘𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝕤𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕖
hahaha oh no, welcome to uh

𝕘𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝕤𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕖
that!

papermint tiger
i will look for one but it's a Fiat

Half Blood
yeah there's a cord and if you buy an extention and plug it in it's supposed to keep your car warm

papermint tiger
woah

𝕘𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝕤𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕖
I've been joking with my dad that we'll have to start installing those little electricity poles if this weather keeps up

papermint tiger
but yeah this is an old house, i'm pretty sure we don't have any plugs outside...

𝕘𝕣𝕖𝕖𝕟 𝕤𝕝𝕚𝕞𝕖
my relatives used to all be in Saskatoon so

Half Blood
well, at least now you know

papermint tiger
that at least explains why one of my coworkers constantly has an electric cord coming out of their engine hood

papermint tiger
i had no idea why that was thre

Half Blood
i live in canada and we must do this

Half Blood
yes, that's what they're doing!!!

papermint tiger
...i don't even know how to google for this, i keep getting results about spark plugs

Half Blood
here you go

papermint tiger
thank you

Half Blood
very welcome

papermint tiger
well if i don't have one of these i will look into getting one. And then figure out how to plug it in, lmao

Half Blood
every car should have a cord under the hood

Half Blood
it's just a matter of finding it and having an extension and a place to plug it in

papermint tiger
like i said this is a Fiat. It's an Italian car, idk if it has one

papermint tiger
i'll try to look around

Half Blood
oh, i'd still think so, but idk

papermint tiger
well at least i found a site telling me where to look for it. No way i'm going out now though

Half Blood
yay!

papermint tiger
i'll go on a hunt in the morning XD then i still need to figure out a way to plug it in, lmao...

Half Blood
maybe sometimes at work like your coworker?

papermint tiger
oh, they don't plug it in there, it's just always dangling out

papermint tiger
even in the summer XD

Half Blood
oh, misunderstood

papermint tiger
no worries

This doesn't really fix the issue of it not starting in the first place, but it's a good idea to start the car and leave it on for a minute or two before you drive when it's so cold.

papermint tiger
oh yeah i sat in my car for almost five minutes before i tried driving off

Toss
Good.

tronja307020
I wouldn't start if I was your car, either!
