My wife says she's suspending the driving insurance on all the toys in the garage so that means it's time to put the cover on her '13 427. I never like seeing the driving season come to an end because that means I've added another click to my analogical clock. Oh well, the kids will have fun once again when Mother Nature removes the snow and life begins again. Ain't it great to live in the Snowbelt?
Today was sunny, but cold(ish). Around 40F max, but even though there was a trace of snow a week ago, any salt on the roads was washed away by a few rainy days, so I figured it was time for probably the final run of the season. Took it up the highway and back for 45 minutes or so, topped up the tank, added a bit more Stabil, and put it back in the garage. That's probably going to be it until mid-March, but you never know. Maybe we'll get an early spring.

Our local weather-babe (in Rochester) said yesterday that she expects this winter to be a bit lower in temp than average, and moisture to be a bit above -- which would be mostly snow of course.
Nobody really knows (which she freely admits) but she forecasted February and March to be bitches (not her word, ).
I'm in AZ also. Do you ever go to Pavillions show or Cars and Coffee?
Been to the Pavillions once or twice, but we try to make the cars and coffee every month, now that the snowbirds are here it's a bit crazy, and the good guys car show was at Westworld this weekend, missed that due to previous plans.
Drove to what seems like the end of the earth......Fishing Creek on Hoopers Island, Maryland to get fresh Chesapeake oysters and cream of crab soup at Salty's , because it was actually to windy (25 with gusts to 40) for even me to play golf. Well worth the drive! Carbon Fiber splitter and spoiler were added 2 wk ago.
Weekend trip to Sunriver, OR... the WR works really well at highway speeds (e.g., 70+) as long as the windows are up.
And then the "other side" of diminished "back-wind"... when stuck in traffic... kind of wished I had that "breeze" blowing from the back! (1st world problem!!)
I'm always glad to see people not afraid to drive their cars in any weather.

CA 36.... west from Red Bluff to Eureka, north to Crescent City and SR 199 to Grants Pass, OR. Attachment 48128329
No pix on CA 198 (San Lucas to Coalinga).... VERY twisty and traffic kept me from pix opportunity.
First time using the Novistretch Bra.... worked like a champ.
I'm always glad to see people not afraid to drive their cars in any weather. I've had a dozen Corvettes and have driven them every day! Office, church, grocery store, you name it! I have never missed a moment of seat time. Yes I have a Chevy truck for pulling trailer/work stuff - Otherwise, seat time!
Thats a beautiful view.
