Default This SUCKS! Donkeykong

I've had my car tore down since before Christmas doing some cosmetic dress up to it. Aluminum under-drive/chrome timing cover/chrome water pump/chrome alt and a few other items.
Well now it's back together Loooooookin Goooooood!
I even spent a couple hours cleaning and waxing it all up lookin real sharp.
Wouldn't ya know it the weather outside is 22 degrees and sleeting, along with a wet and muddy driveway. I can't, OK I won't get it out to drive.
This weather SUCKS! I'm ready to move to a warmer climate
Cabin fever has it's clutches on me. AAARRGGGHHH! :cheers:

Yah, I know the feeling. I rebuilt my drivers side calipers tonight and wanted to take the car for a spin. It's so cold, I actually had to put on a sweat shirt! :steering:

Sorry for all you guys up there. I hope you get some cruising time in soon.
