Thanks man, I appreciate it. Yeah,.....I really despise winter. It's nothing but a nuisance. Big time nuisance. I'll take summer year round.
How come you parked your so early? Was the weather bad out your way? I took mine out till last month. Now that it's snowing as I type this, it looks like it's done for a while because of road salt/sand.

We were getting nothing but rain and it was getting almost too cold to drive. So I prepped the car for winter. I was coming up on some serious traveling for about a 6 week period, so decided it was time. Now that the travel is over and full on winter is here, I wish I could break her out but not happening. So I will keep wishing for warmer weather and counting days til spring... Burrrrr it is cold. Getting so I really do not like November through February. Looking for sunshine and warmer temps!

May have to take another trip soon.

Yeah,...that'll do it then!!
November isn't too bad, but still sucks. I hate December thru March. My favorite is late May through September.
Is it summer time yet??!?! lol

Sent off the insurance check for the Roush on Friday morning.
All paid off for the 2018 year.

I was going to fire up the Green Machine and let it idle, get up to temps on the driveway, but it is lightly snowing now. What a pain in the ***. lol
Oh well,..........time to hurt the body some more. Bodybuilding time!

Checked out the Green Machine while taking out the trash and recyclables for pick-up tomorrow. She is a fine machine. I hope to fire her up this weekend. Hopefully it's rain-free and not super cold out, otherwise,.....no go. lol
Looks pretty good though.

Fired up the Green Machine today. Swept out the garage and let the temps come up to normal and rolled her back and forth a bit to get all moving parts moving again. Sounds so good! Stayed on the driveway as the streets are a mess from the last snowstorm. It's been about a month since I last fired her up. She was due. lol
I wish summer would never leave.

You know there are places out there that it is like summer all year long...

But not where I live. I know what you mean. Though it was 55° and nice here yesterday.

Not lasting very long though, headed back to the 30's by next weekend.

Oh yeahhhhh,....as soon as I retire, I'm outta here!!!! lol
It was warm on Friday and Saturday, but we had rain on Friday and the temps are back down again and we had flurries this morning.
They say this weekend is going to be around and near 50 degrees. Crazy weather man.

Fired her up yesterday since it's been 2 weeks since the last start and it was nice out.
Drive her up and down the driveway after temps came to normal. Sounded so good too. Is it summer time yet?!?!?

yep, gotta love that global warming! Massachusetts is the new North Carolina!

Hey, for a real rush, you need to get that car out on a road track, if you haven't already. I don't know where you are in Mass, but the state is not very big, so chances are Thompson, Connecticut or Palmer, Mass. are not more than 1-1/2 hour drive . . . and you can get an hour of track time for $150 through SCCA's "Track Night in America"

If you are interested, PM me for a discount code that is good for $25 off (assuming it still works)

https://www.tracknightinamerica.com/events

I just checked and the schedule is not up yet, but they have several dates planned for Thompson and Palmer this year.

Thanks Bert, but I'm not really into the auto-x/road race stuff. I do appreciate it as a spectator though. Thanks again.
