Winter Is Just Too %#@* Long
Here in Minnesota at least.
I took this pic October 1st on my last road trip of the year. That's right. Almost four months ago and we probably still have three months of winter left.
Now she just sit's in a cold garage.
I only put about 3K miles on the Vette last year but I vow to at least double that for 2007.

I haven't heard much about global warming since the citrus crop in Califormia froze over 
You put the Vette away for a few months and it makes it just that much more fun to drive to when you tale it back out again.
Every winter we hear how nice the weather is for driving in the southern states untill spring when their Vettes start to melt from the heat

Al the freezing weather has at least stopped all the postings about global warming. Check out scotese.com. He has a graphic that shows the world's temperature over the last 300 million years. Actually, the current world's temperature is still on the cool side compared with many long term incidents in the past. No one, to my understanding, can explain these temperature variations in the world's temperatures. It's interesting that people claim that they know why the curent warming trend is ocurring. Fact: No one knows how much the infrared heat from the sun is changing. A change in the Sun's heat output (Infrared) would dramitically change the earth's temperatures. Also, it's well know that there are some stars that have a dramatic short term change in IR output. Betelgeuse (Alpha Centuri) is the most notorious big star that has a varying IR output.

I saw a show on discovery once that claimed global warming will ultimately cause another ice age.. after the polar icecaps put enough fresh water into the ocean, and screw up the oceans flow of water that ultimately dumps into the core of the earth and then releases back into the air to give us an atmosphere in the first place... or some such stuff

Took mine out yesterday for a short spin down to the hardware store. An older guy came running over and asked if he could look it over. I opened the hood and the door for him and let him sit in it. He was estatic and all smiles. We then went inside the store to do our chores and on parting he thanked me for making his day. While I was in the checkout line, I saw an older couple checking it out.
Made for a great little trip.
Over night we got 2" of snow on the ground.
