I'm jealous. My car is sitting outside(not in snow), but undrivable and with the top up. It's bad enough that I can't drive with the top down this time of year, now I can't drive at all because of the stupid stock pressure plate cracking.

With the top down, isn't it easy for the refugees to get in?

Better add a rudder, that way when next year's hurricanes come around, you can still get around.

Yeah, well, we just got 15" of snow so there and we've got another 3 1/2 months to go. Aren't you jealous now?

Right on. I crank the heat up in my garage, drop the top, grab a beer, and blast the tunes. It can't get any better than that this time of year.

We have a ice storm warning out now.

I put mine away in Sept. Traveling for work. I'm in Yuma Az, while my car is covered up for the winter back home, which is now covered in snow. I wish I had it down here.
