hee hee hee!

um, yeah. mostly accurate. inaccurate at -20; at -20 it doesn't snow. therefore, all the snow would be off the roof by the time it got that cold, if it needed to come off. but other than that...

Please. We Californians put on sweaters when it gets below 68. ;)

My favorite of the "cars" ones is when it says "your car helps you plan your trip south", at -40.

When I first read that line, I had this image of my cat in her own pajamas... I'm not sure I really want that, either!
