Okay..it's official...i'm sick of looking at my turbo sitting in the garage!

I just want a two day down pour to wash all the salt away so I can get car out on the road! It's sort of funny....it's at this stage of the season where I start looking at roads I'm traveling on with the family truckster and tell myself to remember to take the turbo on this or that road when the weather clears up.

...ugh.

I hear you. You guys got hammered pretty good with the snow thing this year, and the roads are probably white with salt. Bummer....it won't last forever.

Now in my neck of the woods, we've had the mildest winter that I can remember. No snow since before Christmas, only one or two days of freezing temperatures in January, and the whole month of February getting nicer and nicer each day. 50 degrees and sunny today...same on tap for tomorrow. Just gotta put the IC back on after some winter mods, and we're off!

Will be thinking of you.....

I have a 79 930 sitting in my garage that I bought last fall I haven't ever driven. We had 2 feet of snow October 1st and it's been winter ever since.

Phil, how can you sleep nights? I would be a certified lunatic by now. Just slap on some chains and go for it (brings to mind a long story I could tell of a cross country trip in a '72 Targa from SE Idaho to Chicago....in late January sometime in the distant past).

Funny...you're probably no more than 400 miles due east of me and how different the weather patterns are this year. It's got to be El Nino, or La Nina and her bastard son.

Mark,
Luckily we all are skiers and love the snow, by next month I will officially be sick of winter -there will only be 2-3 months left.

Once the 24 hours of Daytona passes I really start looking forward to Spring. Sleeting in Kansas City today and not much chance of seeing the sun.

I concur 87Turbo87 I'm right across the river from you in PA. I've got a beach of sand and salt on my neighborhood road and the local roads have the same and gaping potholes galore. Looks like we may get some rain on Tuesday tho'. Spring is right around the corner!

You're not a meteorologist by any chance? <kidding> They sure botched that forecast. lol. Can't wait for spring myself. Now that I can't play in this stuff anymore, I have no use for it... 87Turbo, where are you in NJ? I'm up in Morristown (Morris County). Maybe can hook-up for a drive when the weather breaks.

Its great to see a few other jersey boyz here with turbos. Would love to get together once the roads are clear and my car is back on the road...

One way to pass the winter is to rebuild your engine:

I finally got the turbo out....today was sunny and 50 degrees. I had to dart around avoiding all the salt streams on the road but it was great. Supposed to be nice again tomorrow....all good!

Same over here... the weather has been really s****y since about september, with snow and ice just about every week since december! It's only now that we're getting the odd day here and there when it's not totally miserable.

Can't wait to get my 965 out again!
