Default Fall in New England

Yes, it can be quite picturesque at times, but it is also a warning that the inevitable is about to descend upon us inhabitants: Winter!
And that means hibernation for summertime thrills like my C5 convertible.

Sleep well, my friend, sleep well.

Nice pic It hasn't been very nice around here this weekend. Over 2 inches of rain and counting. 40-50 mph winds on the Cape Should be good driving during the week though.

Love the color!
I lived in New England for 30 years and hated the fall because I knew what was coming.
