It seems as if they used a whole seasons worth the last couple days

Piles of it at intersections, gonna take a good soaking to get rid of it. Ah, the joy of New England in the spring......

Hard to believe a little over a week ago I was out with the top down. Now I'm afraid to take it out of the garage.

I've been dreading this snow especially because I wanted to get some time on the big block to feel good about my fixes. With this weather I'm hoping my t tops are done being painted by then or its gonna be a cold ride up on dyno day...

We live in "The Land of Salt" also, but are trying to move to the great state of Florida where the only salt can be found in the water that surrounds the land mass.
