Not only am I depressed about that fact, I've got nothing to do around here!

Between my motorcycle, working on cars, driving my car, barbequing outside - that is pretty much my life in a nutshell right there. And now, I can't even step into the garage because of the miserable weather! Honestly though, I miss the motorcycle the most.

I'm looking to relocate to Phoenix or Tucson REAL soon....

Friend, its soon to be everywhere not just cali. If these socialist communist fuckwads keep getting voted in then WE WILL ALL BE OUTLAWED FROM DRIVING OUR CARS! And thats only if we can still afford these gas prices!

eastern pa. Plenty of snow. I drive and have driven both of my camaros (92 and 01) in all kinds of snow. the _only_ time i have been unable to take the car out to goto or come home from work in snow was when it got snowed in while working and i couldn't get my 92 out of the parking spot no matter what. Had to come back the next morning and dig it out. Was fun driving home, me and trucks, with me mostly sideways the entire way. The 01 wouldn't be as bad as the 92 if it had decent rubber. It's still got what i bought the car on, and it apparently sucks hard for anything not dry asphalt.

If you live out in Casa Grande, AZ, you don't have to worry about emissions testing...I've got to find a way to get an address out there so that I can register and not have to worry about it.
Tucson is 53°F, 40% humidity.
