Welcome, I'm from Massena, NY area which I think is about 4 hours north of you. I'm about 20 minutes from Cornwall, Ontario. Northern NY winters suck for owning a seasonal car. Snowmobiling is about the only thing that makes winters fun up here.

Thanks everyone! Yes Rebel, I need to get a sled. I only have the Camaro and a Ninja ZX6R. A lot of money goes out in the winter for things I can't use. I've been to Scotia a few times Seeker, I play hockey there at the Black Flys rink. Anybody know of someone locally who does a good job installing headers?
