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?

They don’t. All objects are at almost equilibrium in term of termperature in the same space. They just feel different because of their thermal conductivity.
