Fake Spring is Over
Drove the Z06 to work for the last 2 weeks.
Back to single digit temps (Celsius) for the foreseeable forecast so it's back in the garage. |

Was 60F here today, so I gave The Zippy Truck a spring bath. Will get back down to the 20's in the next few days. Meanwhile my son, south of Denver CO received 24" of snow yesterday.

You don't drive it when the temperature is below 50 degrees F?
Shit, I've taken my convertible out with the top down is sub-freezing temps many times. |

Spring is here in Virginia. The peepers are out, our nighttime lows are in the upper 30's but daytime highs are upper 50's to 70. Mowed the lawn two days ago.

I usually open my pool April 1, but am thinking of pushing it ahead by a week. With this unseasonably warm weather, I have to keep a close eye on the water and hit it with chlorine before it turns green. |

72 yesterday, supposed to be close to 80 today. Been gorgeous top down weather for the past month, between much needed rainstorms. Lots of snow on the Sierras.

Take it out when you run out of olives or onions for your martinis. Then you'll have a valid reason for bothering.

After 56 years of hard drinking, my last drink was on January 28. Not sure how that would work out, but I walk past the liquor bottles a zillion times a day and am not tempted; they are starting to annoy me because they're taking up space.

I had the car out 3 times in February, as we had several rains in a row that washed away all the snow, ice and salt, and everything else was fine. It's a nice day here, mid 50s, and sunny, but my dog bashed into my arthritic knee a week ago, and it hasn't recovered yet, so no ride for me today. |

We don't feel for you guys either way. If you choose to live in a sweltering, fetid, insect- and reptile-infested swamp year-round -- we don't care. |
