Obviously wasn't a "perfectly good" battery and didn't freeze up all that solid or all the plates would be toast.
Either that or we are talking two very definitions of what "freeze" means. If by "freeze" you mean there was a little layer of ice on top then sure. When I froze a coupe over the years they were FROZE and there was no coming back for them.

Flexing again I see. Between calling ppl liars and referencing the owner's manual 82 times, I can see why you find yourself frequently involved in 'debates'.

He made a statement. I countered his statement with fact. He told a story and I gave another. It is called interaction.

Some people are liars and I call them as I seem them.

I have quoted the owners manual a couple of thousand times since it is a good resource for those that read it.

If I disagree with a statement I will present my side and if that leads to debate so be it.

If you think you are going to insult me in some way guesss again. I have seen far better than you come and go.

If you are yet another user name for Ubersuber than that will come out eventually.

If not then your user name is just a few horse genes away from reality.

Well now, @guybo, I reckon that depends upon what you mean by "really, really cold".

It's my understanding that an automobile type, lead acid battery, with the proper sulfuric acid - water ratio, and fully charged, will freeze only if the temperature drops below about -65 degrees F.

Now, at those temperatures, you ain't going anywhere in your gasoline or diesel powered vehicle anyway....... because the fuel will be gelled.

Haha k I'll behave. I'm new-ish here and I feel like Tcoat is EVERYWHERE on this forum, and his tone is rarely inviting - the lone stain on an otherwise pleasant canvas.

Anyways, looking forward to more (more positive) interactions on here.

I don't know what an Ubersuber even is - just a regular auto-enthusiast with an FRS who's initial interaction on this forum was soiled by an internet tough guy.

I'll let you do the rest of the investigative work...

Well I do know who he is and so do many of the longer term people and if you knew as well you would understand why I won't listen to his rambling crap.

Dude. I said the Mazda engine was not suited for this car and asked you why you preferred it when you shit all over the boxer. That is hardly being a tough guy. You freaked out.

Go read more than .00003% of my posts before you judge me.

I don't need to analyze a body of work when I have first hand experience with you. I hypothesized about a 'dream car' of mine - you are the one who took 'issue' with my vision and decided to tell me why it was wrong.

Next time, perhaps lead with something to the effect of 'Cool, my vision would look like this...'

And I didn't 'shit all over' the flat four, you were determined to get me to justify why on earth I would pick mazdas inline 4 over it, so I shared my rationale, which clearly wasn't good enough for you.

Thx for the revisionist history though, online tough guy. This will be my last interaction with you. I pray to god you don't represent 0.0003% of the other members here.

Cool!

Hey, you guys done picking on each other .....??

Back-in-the-day, at about this point, the two folks would go out back and do some "gravel scrapping". We would all gather around and cheer them on.

Of course, back then, guns, chains and knives weren't allowed for a clean gravel scrap.

Now days, each side arms themselves with AR15s or AK47s and shoot up the whole neighborhood......
