What a misleading title. I expected some pictures at least.

Forgive my ignorance, but I don't believe it snows much in GA does it? In Toronto, as in the rest of Canada, many car enthusiasts don't drive their vehicles in the winter because of snow, road salt, bad i!@#&rant drivers and other such winter phenomena that can spell disaster for your cars.

Man, you guys are slow on the uptake.
I've been on the road for the last two weeks.

I took the battery and DME relay out of it where I was storing it. They called the other day and said they wanted to move it so they could get other cars out. I told them I would come and get it out now since we are experiencing good weather at the moment. I didn't want some young lad bouncing it off other cars or taking it out for a rip.

Hey Tommy, you must be running studded ice tires up there to be driving it for the last two weeks lol.

Yes witchdokta, stay in school, study hard, get a good job so you can buy more Porsches!

I'm going to try and bring it out this weekend. I'm probably going to have to charge the battery first.

I'm really impressed! I leave the battery in the car all winter. From Dec.1 until now -- and the car started right up! went for a good 25 minute drive. Solid as a rock! Love these cars!!!

Ritz, it's gonna have to be a surprise. All i can say is they're gonna be nice and wide compared to the skinny phone dials. I'm probably going to take the opportunity to get the phone dials re-conditioned since they're quite bent out of shape.
