We're having a warm spell, it was actually 33 yesterday! Looking at the 10 day though it's supposed to stay upper 20s and lower 30s.
Figures, Friday my truck will be back on the roads, so it's probably done snowing.

I have a friend that has a GXP that lives in the Macomb, MI area I believe. He's not on this forum but i've been trying to get him on here.

I would love to live in Iowa, or anything further north. I do love my cold. If i lived where it rarely snowed, i sure woudn't have anything front wheel drive.

I'm sorry... Temperature swings in LA are awful. 20s one day, 70s the next, then 50 for a few days, and back to 20s.

OT But.... I was browsing around looking for info on the LS4 and check out a post I found from you in 2004.

"You've gotta be kidding! It can barely handle 280 lb-ft, and they're going to market with 300 lb-ft. I'd really be curious to see what kind of internal beefing they're doing to keep it in one piece. I mean, my mildly warmed over (237 hp at the wheels) 97 GTP is already starting to show signs of going south, and that's with a huge cooler and easy driving.

Ok its nasty out right now zero visibility out side of town. I thought I was going to get struck by lightning trying to pull a buddy out of a ditch! Felt like I put my face in a sand blaster.

Looks like the poor GXP will be buried by morning.
