Default winter solstice

just wanted to remind you guys that today is the shortest day of the year, so every day we should get a little bit more light and be that much closer to pulling the s2k's out of storage. i'm so happy about this and i didn't even get mine yet.

Yeah, back in the UK I grew up with the winter sun rising at 9am and setting around 3pm.

Summers were nice though.

Except when your mum sent you to bed at 8pm as a child and the sun is still high in the sky.

When I saw the topic I too thought of the Pontiac Solstice first.

I guess their marketing blitz is working.
