  • my car is sitting outside and i can start it after 2 weeks un-touched and it will start but will have a hard time if you want a proof just ask.

  • Hey, good for you. Is your car also 19 years old, with 200,000 miles? Does it also stay below zero for most of those two un-touched weeks?

  • Is that a convertible (in Mich)? What did you ever do to get it started? It's tough on any car when it's that cold out and it's an old car. Personally... i don't know how you can live in such a cold climate!

  • It's a convertible, in Minnesota. I got it started by bringing the battery inside and charging it, as the video shows.

    I've since moved to Los Angeles, so... problem solved.

  • That's not good. Something is wrong with it if it can't start in -4 degrees.

  • It will always start when it's -9, as long as I don't let it sit for 9 days. The long time left sitting was what killed the battery.

  • Do you still have your convertible? i LOVE those old BMW convertibles.

  • Gotta keep that car plugged in to keep the block from freezing...

  • hey yo man you need to pump it ;)

  • That sucked! I thought it would have started after recharging the battery! That is why I do indeed live in sunny Southern California!

  • you just got to kick Start it i got a bmw to

  • It's actually 16 years old. It's a 1993 civic and it have 322000km on it. I'm sorry if I sound a lil cocky earlier sorry!

  • same thing happens to my car in winter time cause i too dont drive it much like yours sitting for days or a week at a time. so what works good is in the winter time if you bring the battery inside keep it on charge by the vent when the heats on when not using the car for a while, then hook it up when you need to go out it works well
