Yeah Veight, sorry, 
as an excuse I'll give you a true story.
We did have a cottage up north in Lapland the 70's.
One Christmas it was minus 43 C (-45 F) outside and the car wouldn't start
since actually the whole engine was as ice.
My step dad did put up a small bonfire under the engine to warmed it up,
and after a while the car (a brand new M-B 220) did start.
But the gasoline was not frozen.

I hope you're kidding about the bonfire under the car.
The car was not above the fire for more than some minutes, pushed into and from it.
