I drove the Z 4 times this week, which has to be a record since I usually only drive it once a week. Love the winter!

When I arrived at my parents house for the holidays, the compass said the temp was -2*. I think they had a high of 10* for a few days before it ran up to the 30's. Driving back, the 40's felt like a heat wave!
