My car is hating this cold weather
Taking a couple extra cranks to fire up and all this creeking when I go over bumps and stuff now. Makes me all paranoid.

It will be alright. I used to live in Blacksburg and Roanoke and my FC might groan and complain but it would always start up and get from point A to B. What I always did was made sure I had a thinner weight of oil in the car and I flushed all the fluids and replaced with new before it started getting real cool.

Have autozone check the cold cranking amps of your battery to see their within spec.

New shocks, greese the strut top bearings, replace old end link & subframe end link bushings.

I also put in an Optima red top battery a little over a week ago
