Default -3 Below on my So2's

Well the weather broke enough today and I just couldn't stand it anymore so earlier this morning I went out and fired up my S for a lil romp. Outside the thermometer read -3 deg below zero so slowly I pulled out, let the engine get to 2 bars and then started a slow drive south on SR23.
The car seemed nervious but after 2 or 3 miles all was well. Going through the gears,listening to the engine,a bright blue sunlit sky.The only thing missing was about 50 degrees more temperature and the top down.
I put 20 miles on the car today after being in the garage for more than 3 weeks.It felt good to get out and "run" with the wind for a change. Yea I know ,now it has a thin coating of white dust on it and I do feel guilty but what the hell you only go around once, right?

Hahahahaha..you live in Ohio right? With all the nut cases on the roads especially in winter-no thanks. I nearly got sideswiped Thursday night on Sawmill road and I'm sure you're familiar with that one

Not for me. 270 was so salty that there were clouds of salt. It was like a foggy day!! You could probably have tasted the salt if stood on the side of the road ind inhaled

I tried getting to C-Bus Thursday night on 23, but if you get north of Delaware with a decent dusting of snow, high wind, and big open nothingness, I couldn't even see the road to drive on (I was in my beater).
