Default It SUCKS

Here I sit broken hearted looking at my Z that isn't started. Winter has come to summer tires that cant be used until spring aspires.
The car is hidden under a cloak for cover in hopes when good times will recover.
I will look and dream of summer past in anticipation of making my Z go fast. It won't be long I tell myself when the Z and I will be off the shelf, roaring down the open road like a rocket going like hell in stealth mode.

Happy New Year and a short winter.

I feel your pain. Here in Los Angeles once in a while I need to roll the windows up when riding around with the roof out so I don't catch a chill. The horror.

DITTO! The way the weather is going in the north/east I think there will be may times this winter where the conditions will allow you to take it out for a drive if you so desire.

Gotta agree with Bad Dad. There are several reasons why the Northeast is losing population and Florida keeps right on gaining population!

Yup... and you also need to learn Spanish in order to communicate with the population. You could not pay me enough to live in Southern CA.
