70?!?! Florida is spoiling you'll. lol TRy starting your car in 32 degrees.

Have you recently changed your oil? I know when I got a service check up @ MAzda they changed my oil and put some cheap garbage oil in my car and from there my engine has been making alot of noise when it runs. Once I got another oil change the noise went away.
