Winter Sucks
Looking forward to the warm weather. We just got back from Naples FLA this past Sat. Temps were in the 80's when we landed in Philly we were met with cold rainy sleet. Also can't wait to get back to E-town. The only thing good about this weather is it really makes you appreciate the nice weather.

I still think winter is why so many of the fastest cars in the country come from the northeast. When the warm parts of the country are leaving there stuff together and bragging about racing every week, we have down time to make upgrades.

Bah....man up. 
All of the major work that gets done to my cars seems to take place in the middle of the winter.

I hate winter too! But I've been able to get out and play golf 3 times since last Saturday and work on the cars outside and wash them. So I think we're pretty close to Spring arriving!

It's funny, I was looking at some of my old postings this morning and found this one. I enjoy taking the car out for a ride in this cold weather though, that cold air does wonders for some extra get up and go.

While I enjoy seasons, I wish I was still in SoCal!
My ideal winter is one where we get steady snow, that melts quickly, rains, then repeats.

If we could delete summer and winter and continually switch from fall to spring I would be ok with that.
