Default Winter blues

Anybody else anxious to get their S out again? I don't store my car, and will drive it in the winter as long as it is dry. But we've been slammed with rain and snow for weeks now. More coming too. Havn't started my S for 4 weeks now, havn't even opened the garage door.

To make matters worse, I got a ticket today in my minivan. Got caught in a city speed trap for 22 over the limit. One of those places where the limit should be 45 but it's 30 for no good reason. Now I gotta deal with this crap. Hate to burn up a ticket when I'm not even in the S.

Just had to vent a little. It'll be warm and dry soon...

Yes sir, it sucks having a car you can't drive. Or I guess you can and it will look like shit. Thats what I tell myself.

Man, you IL boys can blow me I have over 3 feet of snow in my frontyard with the banks being taller than just about any car that drives down the road. I'll be lucky if the S comes out by June.

WoW!!! Look how close you got the Z06 to the S2K.

Do you routinely get the batteries of both cars on chargers or turn the motor over once every other week?

Because of the late "hit" of weather this winter, my prediction is that the cold won't break until late March or early April. At least the weather was good enough to go past Thanksgiving (and I think X-mas as well) before getting snow like we did.

In fact, didn't we have 65 degree day just two weeks ago? Mother nature, she dangled the carrot on the stick that day.

Both batteries are on chargers (that's the extension cords on the floor.)

I don't regularly turn the cars over.

I backed both cars in without a spotter, and that's as close as I want to get.
