negative 5 degreeeeees
If I remember to get a pic first I'll post one, I think its above negative now here. When I started the car this morning it sounded a little weird for about 5 seconds then it was normal. My guess everything was just frozen solid.

lol, j/k man!! just poking some fun at mustang owners!!
it goes away after its warmed up? I would contact the service dept. at a reputable dealer in your area, especially if you are still under warranty. Until then get it up to operating temp before driving (always a good idea regardless) this is my first winter with the car as well any conspicuos noise would throw a red flag for me.

a. Avoid snow and ice unless you are very brave.
b. When the pavement temperature drops below 40 degrees, straight line traction decrease. Just don't get crazy in second gear.
c. There are many recommendations for warming a car left overnight in freezing weather. I simply drive 2,000 RPM or less until the motor reaches normal operating temperature.

a. I got some blizzaks for emergency, but the only time its snowed so far, i took public transportation.
b. Good to know.
c. That is what i have been trying to do.
Thanks for the advice.
5 degrees in Cleveland and a wind chill of -15. They already canceled the local schools for tomorrow at noon today. Why is it that a bird's brain is the size of a peanut and they're smart enough to fly south for the winter.

Yeah it was about 9 degrees F this morning when I started the car, and man does that thing growl when you start it really cold. It was definitely not happy to be working in such cold temperatures...but I wasn't happy to be going to work, so I can understand its point of view. I let it sit for just a few minutes, then drove to work making sure to shift around 2k RPM until the temperature gauge was near the middle, then I let her rip : )
