Default Distraught...weather.

OK, so all you southerners here can laugh ALL you want, I'm jealous no doubt.
So I get my 'vette back from oil senser replacement and new weatherstripping....yeah...............!
Raining, cold and snow expected tomorrow

Us northerners NEED spring to come. I have a feeling this is going to be a LONG winter.

Well at least your Vette wasnt at Barrett Jackson and destroyed in a tornado touchdown!

I always try and look on the bright side of things, even if its a little chilly out!

Im just hoping it stops raining and clears up in Jersey. I just cleaned my car a few days ago and I have a feeling tomorrow will not be fun!

You think that is bad!..... I spent the day yesterday waxing the Vette, watching the game and drinking a couple of cold ones. It was 80 in my garage. I had to turn on the ceiling fans.

I know how you feel, it's less than 8 weeks to spring, that doesn't sound too bad.
