I have been driving my XJS through the Minnesota winter for several weeks now. When it actually snows I strap a raw egg to the gas pedal and she behaves. I only drove in two lanes at the same time once this winter trying to take a right turn sprint at an intersection. Most of the time the roads are dry and the only minor challenge is the cold start in the morning. Whine whine whine rumble belt squeel, hold the gas pedal until she stays running, go to work.

OK. The trunk lock is still frozen shut, the radio antenna does not want to come out all the way and the windows freeze shut whenever they feel like it. So no drive through.

The only really annoying issue was when I froze myself inside the car after going through the car wash and neither door or window opened. But that was an Andy special. :-)
