Too long in the garage for sure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yeah I know there's still some salt on the roads and all that bs ;but I needed to remind myself why I'm making payments on something that has just sat there for the last 30 days in the garage

Can't wait for the end of March

I am envious of you Steve. There is so much ice and snow on my street that there is no way I could get out!

I am yearning for WTD and spring already!

This is going to be a long (apparently cold) winter!

Very cool that you got to run through the gears and warm the fluids of the S.

I still have ice in my driveway.

Hopkins Airport apparently has 17" over its average snowfall for January. I didn't think it had been that snowy....who knew?

66 days until 1 April (aka when I plan to start driving the S again)....and counting.

I am glad I couldn't get mine out yesterday. When I left home just before noon the sky was near clear with just a few clouds but about a hour later I was driving up 71 near the airport and ran into a near whiteout conditions!! I heard later that at Hopkins they got 5.2" of snow.

Screwie ass northern Ohio weather.

That's how I always looked at it, too.

I think we enjoyed driving our S more in the winter than we did in the summer (albeit with winter tires and a hardtop).

In our current cars (both 4-wheel drive with lots of diffs and winter tires), it's almost like the challenges associated with winter driving don't exist...
