Remember, I'm not getting rid of the Geo until school is up .

It's certainly not fun. That's why most people (with normal cars) use their car starter to warm their vehicles up for 20 minutes around here.
Oddly, I feel safer driving in -31*C weather compared to -3*C weather because the roads always feel much more slippery near the freezing mark.
