New Message on Dash

So I pulled out of the drive on my way to church this morning, temp's in low 30's and there is a message on the dash, below speed.

"May be ice. Drive carefully"

This car has a mind of it's own. I think I'll ask it for the next winning lotto numbers.

Yep. On the C6 it was 36, but I have noticed it has gone up a degree on the Stingray.

Any way to turn this notification off? Very annoying when you get in and out of your car a lot.

Yeah, what with 'GLOBAL WARMING' that Al Gore seems to be trying to ram down our throats, Alaska won't be getting the warning much longer either!

I am not sure that is entirely correct. I do believe the Bible says that all Christians do or should drive Hondas. To quote Acts 2.1 "...they were all of one Accord and in one place."

Sometimes I break myself up.

I never got that message on my 03 C5, and certainly not on my 93 C4. I was impressed to say the least.
