Winter is once again killing me.

exgmguy · 01-29-2001, 10:39 PM

I am getting really sick of it.

We got hit with a ton of snow early, so my Stang went into hiding early. I went for a ride today even though the roads were a little damp. It sucks. My 275 Drag Radials won't even hook from a 45 punch when it's dry. I also can't find a single race to save my life.

I really miss those warm summer nights with the T-tops off and the bottle open. I could get 10 races a day if I tried, and now I just warm it up every couple of days to keep the battery alive.

The only thing I have to look forward to is the S-trim sitting in my basement. At least the blower has the drag launch kit to keep it company.

I just have to make it another month and a half, then I can start lighting up the street racing forum again.

I feel your pain fella's... My beater died last week forcing me to drive my stang. And naturally last Friday's snow storm hit while I was driving home from London, Ont. Not fun when it took me 3 1/2 hours to drive from there to my home near Leamington, which is normally 1 hour 45 minutes. But at least I made it not like some people in their SUV's.

I guess no one really wants to hear that I live in North Carolina, and the weather is actually decent. Although, the Cobra has gone to the body shop for her @$$ transplant. She got hit in the rear quarter in Nov, and the insurance comp. just now got around to paying me. I guess you guys have it worse than me, but at least you value your cars more after winter, if that is a consulation.

I used to feel the pain; grew up in Minnesota and have visited the in-laws in Montreal so I "knew" winter.

Its pretty mild in the Mid-Atlantic states. Hang in there!

Dang, I was wishing it would cool off again here so I could feel that cold weather horsepower. It was up about 81 today.
