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?

No, any system tries to reach a balance where everything is the same temperature, that said it might feel colder or hotter because of the material it’s made out of, metal tends to feel much colder than air at the same low temperature
