Frozen 8

For those currently enjoying the warmth of sunny cali, florida or whatever, heres a look at the fun on a bun that the good people of the north east have been enjoying.

Anyone living in and around the PA and Jersey area can back me up... I'm ready for summer now, after the "rain" we got recently.

Took these this morning, thought I'd share em. Luckily my neighbor adores the 8, and let me park it on his driveway for the last few days, as I wasn't going to be getting up our driveway anytime soon, and the other car was taking my spot in the grass.

It took roughly an hour to de-ice and get the stuff off the windows enough to see and drive it around, as he wanted it moved so he didn't slide into it backing down his driveway.

I guess thats the same storm that just came through the midwest, although it wasnt nearly as bad where I live. I agree with you though the warm months need to hurry up.

+1 on the car cover. I keep mine under a cover due to the fact my garage is packed with s#*t! I also don't drive my 8 during the Winter. I have like a foot and a half of snow piled up on my cover.

I know. In fact, I have one, but classes and the weather have conspired against me when it came to putting it on. It snowed, I dug it out. It snowed again, I had to use another car to drive around. Then all this ice and crap came, and after the first little icing, I'd figured i would give it a day to melt a bit and then attempt to scrape it off and cover it. And then instead of sun, we receive rain and ice over night.

So now that we are only suppose to get wind and more cold, but no more snow/ice/rain/crap, a cover seems worthless.

Of course at the first hint of any precipitation, the cover is going on. I'm not gunna play find the weak point in the ice block that looks like a 8 again... no fun at all.


And to those who made the heat jokes.... (inches closer to laptop for warmth)

Cheers!
