So here i am planning on goin to college in Laramie, Wyoming. I want to bring my mercedes ('81 300SD) with me, but my parents, along with myself, have a cause for concern. It gets reallllly cold here... Like -40F cold.. And the school campus doesnt allow vehicles to be plugged in at anytime (fire hazard.. yea, okay). We're kinda worried about it not starting. I have additives to prevent gelling, so i'll be okay there, but its the cold + compression ignition engine thats a cause for concern.

My parents are saying I may need to part with my car, but there is no way i can do that. I suggested mothballing it here in WI or taking it with me and having a storage unit for it and driving a gas job in the winter. They also suggested gettin a 4X4 but i have concerns that it wont be great on my pocket book (even though it prolly will still be a diesel, but then we're gettin back into the cold problems)

What are you guy's thoughts???
