I know we have been having a cold spell here (as your location indicates), but that can't be Florida!

Florida??

Looks more like the blizzard I'm seeing going on out my window here in MN. Heading to FL in a couple of weeks . . . hope it doesn't look like that down there or we might as well stay here.

Out of town (Canada, same weather) and don't have my Noland book here. When were the front of the side coves painted to match car color?? See this every now and then. Locked indoors and just wondering.

Come on guys, it is just snow, we get it here all the time, in the winter some of you guys, only get to see this S#*+ in pictures, it isn't all that bad when you have to learn to live with it.

I always get a tear when I see a nice vette in the snow.

Bowtie:

No disrespect intended but the second pic (looking down) is a give-a-way. The tire marks look like it was backed up, possibly out of the garage, for the pic. Great pic and no one will blame you for not driving it in the snow – I wouldn’t either.

License plates were a giveaway, and I recall seeing pics of your car with another 1 or 2 midyears I think in Finland, right? With some nice scenery in the background? Like the Penske livery. Looks a lot like Canada to me.

We're down here in North Palm Beach and I am currently sitting in my shorts, T-shirt, with windows and doors open, sippin on a cool drink (beer:30) and enjoying the mid - high 70's.

I need to add that the weather forcasters down here are saying that we are in for an Arctic Blast of Freezing Cold Air early next week. It'll be down in the low 60's. Brrrrrrr.

OK, I'm heading out the door to plow snow with my 4-wheeler (2nd time today) and I can't even see the other side of my street because of the wind and snow. So rub it in real good .

But we'll be down in sunny FL by the 1st of the year. Last winter when came down there was a bad freeze where our house is in central FL. Killed some of our landscaping along with a bunch of citrus crops in the area.

The only cold thing I'll be looking for down there will be one of those beers you're bragging about .

No worries-yes i did back it up front of my brick wall were wind has made good looking snow sculptures ( at least in my mind ) My drive way leads on a flat road where is possible to drive without any tracktion. So i took the trip to the first crossroads where i could bent the U turn and drive back. It was like hell, and i would not go anywhere even close to real traffic
