I am worried about my car!!

My Evo has spent the past couple of days stuck in the driveway becouse of snow! It's snowed like crazy, we are talking about meters of snow. That doesn't bother me much but the thing is, our garage is only halfway finished so I don't have a place to store my baby.

I just waxed it and there is not much snow on it, so I am not that worried about the paint. However in the next days it will be extreamly cold so that got me thinking, are there any parts that might be fragile when it comes to cold weather, breaks or electronic devices etc???

My car spent two winters outside, sometimes in subzero fahrenheit temperatures and never had any issues. I always let it warm up for a couple of minutes before driving it and didn't drive it hard until after I had driven around for 10-15 minutes. It makes a few more noises when cold (creaks and rattles), but other than that I didn't have any issues.

Don't know exactly where you are, but Reykjavik looks like around 0 C or so for the next couple of days. That's not that cold. I would follow the warm-up advice and not worry too much.
