I always suggest changing from summer weight to winter weight air for best tire performance. That multi-weight stuff just isn't as good. 
Knew a guy who distained the use of anti-freeze in his cooling system. Claimed that he used water collected from a fast flowing creek ... no matter how cold it gets in winter that water will never freeze.
Worked with a guy who knew this little Farmall B tractor didn't have anti-freeze in it so when told it was going to get very cold he made a special effort to protect it by parking it under a tree
Seriously! Needless to say the next morning it had a cracked block!

Wow. The winter weight air sure got him, but I think it had something to do with the summer weight air in his head. All he needed was a tarp over it and a lightbulb on the engine -- or just drain it. Buy some anti-freeze, cheapskate!
Darn, how do I insert a picture? I wanted to show you the DVD rewinder image I have in my PC.

Tanks for all the funny replies, thought everyone would get a laugh out of winter air. Another joke, most everyone knows fire trucks have air brakes. One day I saw a rookie checking the fire truck and I asked him if the brake fluid was full, he said "yes", I told him to check it again, he spent 3 hours looking over the truck. Finally I asked him what the yellow **** is that you pull out"oh, air brakes"

True Story
Many years ago when my daughter first started driving. I showed her how to check the oil, water etc.
Few days later she told me she need oil because it was about a quart low. Told her to get some from the shed and do it. Good time to learn. Well about half hour later I decided to check on how she did. She was still out there with her straw putting a straw full after straw full of oil in that little hole where she took the dip stick from.
Guess I didn't show her the oil fill cap. By the way - she IS a Blonde.

As an arcraft mechanic in the Air Force, we tend to mess with the Jeeps - AKA "new guys". One of my favorites is to send them to get some pneumatic fluid or some K-9P. Other times I send them to go get the keys to a particular jet (jets don't have keys, just switches) 
One time we even told a new pilot we needed him to do an ejection seat inflight operational check for us, of course we let him on the joke before he took off.

You guy are too much! 
Feast your eyes on the parts dept.:
Kale co auto. com
Just take the spaces out.
BTW, when my brother had a helper that wasn't for shizzzit, he'd send the helper for a LEFT HANDED crescent wrench. An hour later the helper would return with anything but a crescent wrench; "NO, that's not it! I said a left handed crescent wrench!" My brother would have another hour of work safely accomplished.
