That's a first!
Well tonight, after the clubs and a short breakfast i finally made it back to my car around 3:30am. I hoped in, pulled the roof off, and backed out of my parking spot. The only problem is, I sat there for a solid 10 minutes because i couldn't see out of my windshield.
My windshield was frozen solid in ICE! I couldn't believe it! Anyways, i still made it home, safe and sound and of course with the top down!

Hey Chris, want me to send you an ice scraper?
I'm sure they're a rare commodity where you live.

Jim,
I saw your car in the latest Vette magazine. Congratulations! It's beautiful.
My dream is to one day have mine in a magazine as well.

Yeah. I'm further south than Chris and my window was frozen solid too. How about the roof? Any ice.

I remember when I was living in Naples, I had to attend a 3 day seminar in Orlando during Dec '03. It sure can get cold there this time of year. Don't recall any frozen windshields at the time but I was very surprised at how cold it was there.

I remember burning old homework at the bus stop to keep warm at the bus stop in Melbourne, FL back in the day. At least I think it was old homework.....
