Lifted the car cover today, drained all the water out of the trunk, checked the oil, turned the key and vroooom, she fired right up after sitting for two months. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Hail to modern fuel injection! I'll be driving her to the car wash tomorrow and clean her all up for the breakfast on saturday.

CA has WINTERS? Whats that below 60 degrees. It's obvious you Georgia folk don't really understand the hardships winter puts on us Californians. Although I live down south (just south of LA) it still can be pretty tough! For example, on Tuesday morning it was a freezing 46 degrees in my ride to work! Combine that with some serious rain sprinkles in the three or four preceeding days, and you can only imagine what we have to content with. And quite frankly, although it should hit the mid-70s today, the ocean is still at about 58 degrees. That can cause some serious shrinkage while surfing... Not pretty.

Eric (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) I'll trade you. Hasn't been above 30 degrees here since Jan 12th. Coldest was Jan 16th (see pictures) Now that is f'n cold. Going to hit a high of 12 tomorrow with windchill at a high of -5. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Oh and all you warm wather people suck.

Eric (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) No kidding....These California winters can be a bitch. I actually had to take the top off the 914 for a weekend drive due to the warm tempatures. Can wreak havoc on the wifes hair. |

they don't sell rear trunk seals west of the Rockies? They do ... But the dumb ass PO warped the rear decklid when he mounted the spoiler to it. It's on my list of things to fix, but i think for now, i'm just going to drill two or three drain holes ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |

BTW, Today, here in the temperate climate in SW Ohio, we have this..... When I was discussing the weather on a conference all earlier this week, the participants in Minnesota wanted to know if it was 46 degrees above zero or below zero... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) Keep in mind that Northern California does get some substantial rain. Which we then steal by piping it to southern California so that our lawns stay nice and green (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |

I heard the biggest problem with winters in Cali is that it induces chafing...
Much more painful than frostbite..... |

Went out for a drive today to check out the new shift bushings, etc. I think I've gotten myself the first sunburn of the year......
