Default When's SPRING?!?!

Can't take this winter! The Z has been sitting for 85 days without being fired up and probably another 30 until it might get out of the driveway. How is everyone else passing the time? I have ordered the Carbon fiber rockers, splash guards, stage 2 Spolier extensions and gloss black wrapped the roof. Hurry up spring!

Well unfortunately Punxsutawney Phil predicted 6 more weeks of winter, so those of us that don't drive our rides in the winter have a little longer to wait.

When's Spring?

Easy.

Here in Charlotte, it's spring tomorrow (Monday) with 62 as a high. Then it's winter on Tuesday (high 41). Then it's spring again on Wednesday (high 72). Then it's winter again on Thursday (high 42) with a chance of SNOW Thursday night (low 22).

How's that for "If you don't like the weather, wait a day"?

Jimmy

True, but then he bit the Mayor so I'm thinking P.P.'s on borrowed time...

I feel your pain and I agree with Jimmy. 'OL PP may be living on borrowed time after that move! Meanwhile, while waiting on Spring to arrive, I'm also waiting for carbon fiber splash guards and hood stripe that I ordered to arrive.
