like mentioned, 'wind chill' only applies to things that can sweat. The evaporating moisture from sweating removes a lot of energy, making the sweating object colder than the ambient temperature.
Towing it will help it cool off quicker, but it won't go under the ambient temperature. Unless you were spraying water on it and the RH was low enough that it was evaporating and not forming ice :p
Carbs icing over has to do with the temperature, RH, and dew point, IIRC.
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

reminds me of that old wives tale that you should not park/point the front of your car (the radiator) toward the North overnight cuz the cold northern winds will freeze it up easier (from the WC)
live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
