When it was -20 F here last Saturday, I went out and stuck
the key in my '82 Honda Accord, goosed it a couple of times,
and cranked the engine.  It protested some, but it started.
Not bad for a three-year-old battery.

...leading me to conclude that the best solution to a car
that won't start in winter is to get rid of the piece
of junk and buy something that does start.  It doesn't
have to be new or foreign, either.  I once had a '62
BelAir with 130K on it that'd start at -17, which was
about as cold as it ever got in Columbus, Ohio.  However,
GM doesn't make the 283 any more (pity), so a Honda is
probably a good bet.
