Cold weather damage
Anybody get any damage from the Polar Vortex visit? I went out this AM to start the Box and found a "snowflake" in my odometer.
Damn!!

Nothing I've noticed here in Chicagoland. Except for the scare if having some ice in my oil filler cap. Unfortunately, I've been having to use it as my daily driver too. My 2003 Chrysler 300M that I just bought is disabled due to a stripped wiper arm.

Something crunchy at startup. Still need to diagnose.

no problems here. Driving it every day, and it handles fine in the snowy weather.

Sydney turned over really s-l-o-w after sitting out all day in a covered parking garage on Monday. She started but didn't sound too enthusiastic. The 'high' was 1 deg.

I have the same thing here. Nice snowflake in the odometer and the center readout in the tach. Where can they be sent or can I fix them here?

Nothing yet this year, but I got "snowflaked" last winter. Got my clock/oil gauge

The worst part is that I bought a replacement set of gauges on eBay and they were even worse! The seller didn't list any damage and when I asked, he said that they looked fine. Never got it resolved, so now I have 2 sets of snowflaked gauges
