-20, and 3 feet of pre-inspected powder.

At -20 even though the clutch was pressed in, while turning over the car, it was still lurching forward just a bit. I couldn't get the car to steer very quickly until the power steering fluid was warmed up a bit. My brake light, and ABS light were on, and my speedo refused to work for an hour.

But it ran just as good as always.
I was running 10w30 full syn oil.
