oh man! I HEAR YA! Car in the garage, a bunch of parts in the office and new heads and cam on the way.
Cabin fever bigtime!

I gotta talk the wife into moving south... this winter stuff is for the birds. I can't imagine being able to drive and work on (comfortably) year round.

We had a couple teases of 50 and 60 degree days this month... I had to take her out once... freakin piles of salt everywhere #%$$&*@#*$&

stupid winter...

Trying to keep from too much, but this weather is killing me. Nothing else to do.



oh yeah... this is tech... sorry...

I drive my car no matter what time of the year it is, no winter blues for me. A little snow on the ground makes the car more fun and saves on the tires

No problem here We drive and mod all year long. Temperature does not matter. We just turn the A/C in the GARAGE to a lower setting.

Mine has been storage since November also. Getting so sick of driving my 4 banger automatic Honda . What a slow POS …. April can’t come fast enough for me.
