I'm not sure if it's worse 160 miles away, or just in the end of the driveway at 10 degrees, covered with snow, and the car cover frozen in place. I'm just south of Hank by 25 miles.I can't even look at it, and it's sitting right there!

I hear you Ken. Under wraps, in front of me and know where to go. |cussing| Remember, when the snow stops the rain will begin. |ick|
What will you do then? |headscratch|
I just take the days one at a time. |biggrin|

At least it won't be so cold, I can get the non-frozen cover off, and do some work inbetween the drops. |blinkyeyes| |laugh|

If you can work between the rain drops why not in the cold. Use a portable heater or even a blow drier and take of the frozen cover. |wink|

You all complain about the COLD now, but in July you'll all be complaining how HOT it is to drive our C3s in the middle of summer!! |laugh|

I'll either take off the t-tops, or turn on the A/C. And I can work on it while sweating. I will gladly trade for what I have now. This morning it was 4 degrees with a wind chill of minus 15. |confusing| The hair dryer just won't put out enough to warm me up, let alone the car cover and car. I do keep knocking the snow off.

That sounds like an understatement if ever there was. Since it has been soooo _____ cold I keep taking more and more parts off the car since all I can do is work on it. I may have to put on a heater in the garage just so I can play with my toy to keep from going nuts since I cannot drive it in this weather.

I look out of my kitchen longingly every few MINUTES at my toy only to ponder the top down on the first 40 degree day!lol |saluteflag|
