Wow, she started!

My OM617 wagon has been sitting for 4 months in the back. Plopped in a new battery, spent an hour clearing snow, poured in some anti-gel additive and she popped over on the first try. Runs like a champ.

The temp is 10F today, so I think this car will be A-OK the rest of the winter. I was amazed.

Very true.

I parked her out back, got surprised by a big snow storm. Got plowed in, so figured I let the old lady rest for the winter.

My wife's BMW has a servo issue with the front heat, so the Russian mechanic work neighbor is going to look into it. Need a replacement vehicle, so decided to dig her out.

Probably just needed a shot katchup, with natural mellowing agents.
