Default First day of work in Indy!

Well, woke up this morning to see that my rental car's windshield had a layer of frost, so I scraped it (first time for me). First day at work was cool, and I had a nice dinner with Balefire. My car should be arriving on Wednesday (hopefully, the rental car sucks!), and I look forward to meeting you guys soon

The drive out to the shop was horror, 44 degrees and everyone was driving like there was a friggin' ice storm last night...

Good luck mingster, Indy has never had a better traffic situation than the Fort!

Despite the rain and lack of sun, I saw at least 3 cars driving with no lights (and almost hit one as a result).

Rich,

Welcome to the Midwest. Don't let all the talk of the weather scare you. There's some days and nights that I'd rather be in Vegas or Mission Viejo, but they are bearable. It just makes us appreciate Spring and Summer that much more.

Whenever you're up for it, I'm in for a "Welcome to the Midwest" meet. Talk to you soon.
