Great weather here in Portland. Yesterday went home from work with the windows down and the sunroof open and I was surprised by the great exhaust sound echoing into the car from the curb. Put a huge grin on my face, and now I'm wishing I'd bought a cab.

67 degrees and blue bird skies north of NYC. I'm looking at her in the lot and just can't wait to get in her at 3pm!

It's been top-down weather almost all week; if it wasn't for slow traffic, my permagrin would have given me face cramps!

Tuesday: 65 deg
Wednesday: 68 deg
Thursday: 62 deg
Friday: 17 deg and snowing like crazy...gotta love springtime in the Rockies!

1-2 feet forecast in the mountains. Screw the cab - I'm taking the S8 and going powder skiing.

Are you from Schorndorf? My family was originally from Heutensbach which is just North of Schorndorf by 18KM? My cousin works for Bosch in Stuttgart.

Nice to hear it. I was in the Willamette Valley for 6 years then Portland for a year. In the valley seeing the sun might be seen as a sign of the end of the world if it happens before spring time

Great area for beautiful weather. Lived south and north in Hampton and Springfield.

Lived in Schwabach sud Nuernburg for 3 years. I loved it when the weather was beautiful. The weather was even beautiful when it snowed a couple of times in July Best of travels to you comrad.

Weather here is 69F 21C with 90% overcast. I'll enjoy it more knowing you guys have had a break in the weather. Maybe check the a/c before the heat of summer. I did.

Cool, same here, my mother side of the family, some are in Vienna too. Any family work for Porsche? Caught some family grief for the BMW, had to buy a Porsche again.

Although the Viennese side of the family love the BMWs, but they love Italian cars too. The German's are not so keen on the Italian cars, particularly if they are from Stuttgart.
