Come to Texas! It only gets about 100 degrees during the summer.

Droughts have been hell down there. However, with that being said, I'd still take Texas over Chicago.

The cold sucks too. Takes me a few cranks to get the e85 lit and even then the damn winter blend comes in so I have to stock up like a squirrel when we head into the colder months.

I only run e85. I have a drum that i have kept full of quality e85 and haven't used any winter blend stuff. Just takes a few cranks to get the temps up enough for the e85 to burn properly. Once it fires over it purs like a kitten.

The cold doesn't bother me at all really. Born and raised here in Chicago. I just get super depressed during the winter and I am not pleasant to be around. I'm definitely more tolerable in the spring/summer. I'm going to be grumpy as **** if the rest of spring feels anything like it did today.

When the glacier melts off my driveway, I might have to think about pulling a car outside. I've got a few oil changes to do.
