wow i really liked that operation barbarosa reference but i thought the problem there was engine oils freezing.

back to topic, i noticed some car manufacturers have delibrately designed the intake system for higher temps. im not sure why but i remember reading somewhere that warm air intakes actually imp4ove mpg? my acura for example has much hotter intake temps than my subaru.
