[lojban] Speaking about matters of degree



I am wondering how one might express statements or questions, in Lojban,
about matters of degree.  For example, I might ask:

  "Why is the inside of my car as cold as it is?"

When I try to express that in Lojban, I get:

  ri'a ma le nenri be le mi karce cu lenku co ...

and I can't figure out how to finish the sentence.  If I say {mutce}, I
am asking why the inside of my car is very cold.  I'm not asking about
the degree of coldness.  I want to ask why the DEGREE of coldness is as
great as it is.  How would you express a question like this in Lojban?
