Haha. You're right, it's in the single digits up there right now. But, I've lived down here for almost 11 years now, so I hate the cold now.

Plus, the cold down here isn't dry like up there. When its damp cold, it's a whole different game.

I left this morning around noon and my car said 24 degrees. What happened to global warming, I was looking forward to VA changing to a tropical climate?

^The S would have been a welcome change in the snow compared to my ISF. Whoa. I got stuck at the office about an hour too late, and by then the roads down here had turned into chaos. That 10mi drive back to my house was scary as hell. I guess that's what you get when you're on summer tires, and car rated at 371 ft lbs of torque. I almost lost the rear of my car at least 10x trying to get home and I was driving about as careful as anyone could possibly drive. The second I even touched the throttle pulling away from a light I lost traction. I was driving slower than probably every other car on the road and it didn't seem to make a difference.

Does that have traction control?

I left for the gym this morning and my neighborhood still hadn't been plowed, got stuck twice at stop signs, of course both had to be on a hill as well. I obviously had the VSA off when pulling away from stop, but I noticed turning it on right after I got going really helped keep the car straight. Luckily all the main roads around here were completely clear.

Yes, it has traction control. If it hadn't, I absolutely would have been in a ditch or in someone's fender.

Kevin - Try to keep that nice IS-F in 1 piece! First, I would hate to see anything happen to you, or the car. Second, I have a selfish reason that I will PM you about.

Pete - It's a conspiracy that involves you..............but does not require you to know about it! Actually, no secrets, just too much to type here.

Cory - Need to talk to you anyway. The NSX is just about ready, just giving the newly painted bumper piece a little while to cure. Ordering the parts for maintenance this week.
