Default For all of you that had to park your cars for winter

Yesterday, we had a really nice day so I figured I would put the top down and go on a little cruise. I never would have thought that one New Years Day I would be able to drop the top and drive around. Sometimes I love living in South Carolina.

Ignore my friend sitting in the car.

At 6:05 PM it is 35* Tomorrows high is 30* with the low at 14*. I don't know whether to be happy for you or curse you for rubbing it in.

South Carolina is a wonderful state, from beaches to the mountains in the upstate, just like NC, but even warmer! During the winter it is a huge plus as we just had a 12 degree morning with 1/2" snow yesterday.
