Javad,
      I concur about how good turbo cars run in cold weather.  Consider
this an invitation to come and visit me here in Minnesota this winter, if
you get lucky you will hit one of our -40 to -60 degreee AIR temp spells.
Not wind chill, but actual air temp.  Heck, We can even go ice fishing.
Ever driven your car on a frozen lake?  We usually have between 18-24
inches of lake ice, do not worry about falling through!

Javad, it sounds like you need to make a road trip this "winter"
(dec-jan-feb) to more northerly climes.  Go somewhere where the daily
highs are predicted to be in the 15 degree F range.

You are going to smile so hard you'll never forget it.
