Y'all.....the hell is winter?
(Gotta love Texas!)
But I agree, it would be nice to give my car a break for repair/mods. Instead she does DD duty year round lol

I know, Im from up north, I just miss the winter........I thought I would never say that! But I guess being in the south to long will do that to you. I guess I could go visit, and then come home to the harsh FL winter.

That's the only benefit I can think of to Wichita being flat. If there were hills here my car couldn't do it. As it is, it doesn't snow here all that much, so I can get by. I bolt on the Blizzaks when I need to ... probably a total of three weeks out of the year.

Hey man you've got a point. I was born in New York, lived in Pennsylvania and few things in my life compare to the thrill of waking up in the morning and seeing everything covered in white-it's so goddamn beautiful you have to be there to understand it. Taking walks down east coast style streets with the trees and their leaves changing color, your girl by your side, the air cool and perfect....f**k man, I do miss the east coast. But I'm getting older, and my cars and I can't deal with snow. I dunno, I guess living on the west coast has made me queer or something...

On the other hand, I agree about the fall (changing leaves and cool, crisp air). Fall is truly beautiful, and the drier air is a welcome change from the humidity of the summer. If I could find a way to skip from fall directly to spring, I'd be a happy Great Lakes region resident.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to deal with CA style testing.
Here in IL, with proper tuning, you can roll through a test center with a camming, stinking, catless car that is totally without any emissions components and still pass within 30 seconds. OBD scan-only is great.

Half of S.C. thought it was raining crack when we got 8" of the white stuff last February.
I got the T/A out for one last ride before it finally dipped into the 40s/50s here. Now it's gonna sit. I can't wait til I get the damn thing paid off so I don't have to keep full coverage on a car I only put 1500 miles on a year.

At least I can run my LS1 through a car wash real quick if necessary, unlike my old LT1, ha ha. (Opti + Car Wash =
)
