Can objects get colder than the ambient temperature around them?

Say you store a vehicle outside all winter, if there was an usually cold week, say -20 degrees Fahrenheit for example, is it possible for the car to be colder than the -20 since it sat weeks prior to the -20 temps?

So this is a tricky question. I’m guessing you obviously aren’t asking “can thus ever happen at all?”- because I’m guessing you’rr will aware of air conditioners.

Now… Are you asking if something like that can happen without the use of electricity?

Yes. Turn a can of compressed air upside down and use it. It’ll turn super cold.

Now, are you asking if something like this can happen without animal interference? That I’m not sure of… Maybe an endothermic reaction might occur if a rock of some sort falls into a chemical pool of some sort. Or the right two gasses meet.
