Yesterday was a strange but beautiful day her in Ohio. Temp was about 68 degrees, sun was shining, blue sky and a nice breeze. Snow and salt were gone from the roads and the pavement was dry. Kept getting this telepathic call from my garage..."drive me...Get me outta here..." By the time I got home, dark clouds and no sun with a new front moving in. I woke up this morning to 34 degrees and a inch of snow. Makes you just want to stay in bed. Com'on Summer!

Man I heard that, and saw that in my driveway!  One good day and I was inside all day.  As you said "Com'on Summer!"

 LOL...I LOVE the winter! I drive mine whenever it's not raining here in E. Tex. It's the only time I can drive more than 20 miles and not get roasted! Can't figure out the heat in the cockpit coming thru the heat and a/c vents. I've even totally bypassed the heater...no difference. Engine heat and smells are inside. I'm thinking maybe a vacuum line is off or broken and not closing a flap, but, my heater does work. Both controls do what they're supposed to, so where is that heat getting into the vents?????????


   I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

Vette(s): had a really nice one. sold it to a good friend. Purchased 2004 custom coupe in Feb. 2009 did not tell anyone here until August 2009. BAD I KNOW.
Well today was my only day off this week, and I finished a "Honey Do List" so I figured I could go for I drive.  Sunny out and a cool 49 degrees.  Put the top down, leather coat on, and off I was driving with that grin again.  Drove for a good 150 miles or so, stop at an Indian casino loss $20.00, brought her back home, put her top up and parked it back into the garage, how I am sad.

Still too darn cold and messy here to take the car out. It won't be
too long now though. I envy you guys.
