Anyone tired of Winter?

Who else is just itching to get in their Pony and drive? 2 weeks is a LONG time to wait until the streets clear up enough to get her out of the garage.

I hate this time of year, and it's gonna be a lot longer than two weeks. Does backing out of the garage count?

Well my '07 GT/CS is my daily driver and I wash it about 3 times per week. I have to wait until the roads have all been rain washed clean so I can take my '65 vert out on a nice sunny day. I feel all your pain with this crappy winter...Spring will hopefully be here soon

Winter is the best time of year here. This afternoon I was out and about town -- with BOTH WINDOWS DOWN. You guys that live in sucky weather, why the heck do you live there?

The consequence to mild winters is the hot summers... Personally, I'd rather live in hot summer weather than cold winter weather. FYI, I don't own a winter coat and so far this winter, it has dipped below freezing one morning.

I love winter ... hate potholes. Nothing like a good 8 to 10 inch snowfall, fireplace blasting. I also don't mind driving in that stuff all that much either.

I hate winter, but mostly because I like to garden. My car is my daily driver, and it gets around surprisingly well, even on ice. (The key is to realize that you are piloting a hockey puck and drive it accordingly. I see idiots in SUVs and 4X4s in the ditch because they thought they were invincible!) We do get lots of snow, which I hate, but luckily, the main roads clear up pretty quickly around here and are sometimes dry the day after a big snowfall.

Yeah man, it didn't even hit 70 here today, although after hitting some golf ***** at the golf course at lunch and my car sitting in the sun in the parking lot, I did have to kick on the AC on the way back to the office as it was quite warm inside the car.

2 weeks, I wish. I just started ordering stuff again to get my car ready for spring. Now if only it would warm up enough so I can work on it. Most likely the car will still be in storage for 4-6 weeks.
