Winter in Alabama????? That looks like a nice spring day for me. I'm 1/3 of the way through hibernation.

Pfft. Unless there's snow on the ground (or salt leftover thereof) there's no reason not to drive them all year long. Did you buy them to park them or drive them?

Nice group of toys I thought you could drive those Vettes and that boat year round in Alabama?? I'm still driving the Vettes in Mass.but the Donzi is out of the water and all winterized.

Rather than build a large garage at our current home we decided to buy a retirement lake house with a garage this year...good call, huh? This is the first year I've been able to park the cars there.

The place is about an hour away, paved roads from driveway to driveway and as the "hard winter" months (for Alabama standards) approach my wife's SUV is now in the garage; no scraping ice from windows on cold mornings = happy, happy wife!

Forecast already calls for snow showers on Jan 2nd - that'll shut Alabama down!

Ya'll have a Merry Christmas and a safe, Happy New Year!

What a beautiful lake house We live on a 730 acre lake here on Cape Cod and love it. In about a month we will be watching ice boats sale across the lake. We usually set up a hockey rink on the lake right off the back yard. I'd rather be boating
