A cure for the common cold?
I woke up feeling miserable this morning, going in to my third day with a cold. Coffee did not help, and I was out of cough medicine and cough drops. So off I went to the supermarket. Hey, it's in the mid 50's and the sun is out so I'll take the 'vette, top down. Two miles later at the store I felt 100% better. Picked up my medicine and drove home, still feeling good. Then as soon as I got into the house I started coughing and wheezing again. The moral here - keep driving! Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

You're allergic to your family. Move out

I started feeling like crap yesterday, not sure exactly what but ive had stomach ache, headache, etc. Took today off and mostly did laundry, then the sun came out and it got up to mid 60's. I took some apple cider vinegar with water and then went outside and washed my car. Now im back inside i feel kind of duh again.

Wouldn't it be nice if flu shots actually worked that way.

I haven't found that mine works for a cold. But, I have found it is the beat blood pressure medicine know to man. 
Hope you feel better soon.

I always look for reasons to drive my Stingray. I'll have to add "not feeling well" to that list.....

A drive with the top down in my Z06 always makes me feel better.
