Default Why?!?

2 weeks ago, to the day, it was 84 degrees here with a 100% humidity...

This is what I have now!







It's supposed to be nice and warm this time of year, maybe a little rain, but no snow!

It figures, I just did a head swap on my truck and I didn't use any antifreeze, I just filled it with straight water... It's not cold enough to freeze solid, but it sure is annoying.

Nah, I put the sleds up last weekend. All fogged and ready to sit for the summer.

I just went out and did some donuts in the blazer... I figured why not?

It's a good opportunity to check the limited slip and ABS on a 928

That is so true. One of the main reasons I left San Diego and came back to Iowa. That and I don't speak Spanish very well and 90% of the people out there don't seem to speak english anymore.
