Overheating in Overcold Weather

I had to go to Grand Junction this last week, and on my way back to Aspen last night, the good 'ol Subaru overheated in 12 degree weather. So there I sat in the darkness on the side of Highway 82 wrapped up in my parka, reading a newspaper in the dark, while steam poured out from under the hood. Stupid stupid stupid car. 12 degrees? Give me a break! The fact that Colorado was cold was the deciding factor in our moving here, simply because the Subaru wouldn't overheat during winter. And now our reasoning has been flushed down the toilet. 12 degrees and the Subaru overheats. Stupid stupid car indeed.

You could have at least thrown a steak or a few weiners on the engine block, and had yourself a nice roadside picnic.
