Default March What?!

well I don't know if anyone else is experiencing weather difficulties but I know I am. The weather has been really crazy so far this year. I'm really getting cabin fever not getting to drive the vette as much as I want to. It's March 7 and the snow is falling! When will the nice weather arrive. I'm going crazy sitting on the forum all the time. I want to drive the vette not talk about it Here are some pics.

P.S. You ppl in the south are lucky doggs. I know i know move then.

We got dumped on big time in Kentucky. Cars were spun out all over the freeway. I was doing about 15Mph and it took everything I had to keep my El Camino straight. Of course, you had your usual idiots speeding past me only to be into the concrete barrier a mile or two down the road. Needless to say, I will be taking a few days off. Got plenty of pizza in the fridge and drinks galore. I will be living like my cats: eat, crap and sleep.

I just got my parts back from the painter (waited 5 weeks, they were busy) car's together, but the rain keeps falling here in VA!!!! I live on a gravel National forest road, and the rain and freeze/thaws have left potholes that will swallow a hummer. Once this crap stops I can take my Kubota and grade the 1 mile of road and hopefully drive my cars again. My fluids are changed, redline ATF in trans, anti-venom mod, fresh oil and clutch fluid. This year has been terrible for getting my cars out, although there was little snow, here in the mountains there was tons of rain and wind. Lots of debris on road!

Oh well, at least I have the car!

John

Still goin' strong here in Floyds *****.

Let the wife talk me into driving her to an art show last night in the middle of all this. Thank God for the Hummer - that's why I bought it. While others were busy spinning out, my H3 just plowed right through and got us home safe.
