^^^^^ Good one Bob!

Although you could never tell looking outside right now, just 23 days until calendar spring (March 20th), and 35 days until REAL car season starts (April 1st) at least in my household.

One more months of this crap Johnny (probably 3 weeks), its like this every year this time, and once April 1st hits, just 1 month now, winter pretty much comes to a grinding halt. Worse case you may get 1 to 3 inches of snow. one time, in the first 10 days of April and it all melts the next day.

As a hard core high performance motor head April 1st has always been one of my favorite days of the year, (b/c it means the end of winter and and 7 months of driving the fun cars)!

There is more white stuff on the ground. And more on the way? Car therapy can't come soon enough. Thank goodness I have a little 15 month old to keep me occupied when I am at home. Drive safely everyone.

Deb that is awesome, you know I LOVE that, and great picture of you and your sweet ragtop C6 GS, in wintry conditions.

Now just 18 days until calendar spring (March 20th), and 30 days until REAL car season starts (April 1st) I can't wait!

I'm in Chicago this morning go to take off and I can't even get out of the parking lot had 2 younger sailors push and get me going but after the momentum stopped just would spin again. Thank god reverse worked and I backed into a parking spot and ran over a mile to class. This is definitely not a snow car.
