It is crazy. We've had what, two straight weeks of better weather than we had all summer it seems like, while most the nation is getting hammered. It was 78 by Ft. Ord but down to 72 when I pulled in to Prunedale.. burrrr! They are starting to predict some rain possible next weekend which would be nice as I'm always thinking about the future fire season.

Like Mike J and many others here, I'm from the Vancouver area. Unfortunately (for getting the car out anyway), I live a bit out of the city. Just enough where it gets close to freezing more frequently. And I think someone in the city works department is getting a payoff from whoever supplies salt/sand/de-icer etc. Looks like someone's gone on the mother-of-all-coke-binges in the mornings!

I felt the same way today, although it was in the low 40s. I trucked my way through the snow with a shovel and cleared just enough room to get the door open down where the car is parked. I then spent the day with the PC and various chemicals. My hands smell like car Better than nothing, I guess. I'll tackle undoing my road rash, while I wait for better weather. C'mon spring!

Ryan, we definately gotta get together this season. We'll be in Narraganset again in late July. We really like Bonnet Shores, but can't find a place that's right. We share the week with my cousin's family, and they have a dog. Currently leaning toward a place just South of Scarobourgh Beach.
Damn dog...anyway, that trip will be Porsche less-but I'll have my bikes to ride everyday.

My Wife's family has a beach house in Narragansett, down by Pt. Judith. We are there every Sunday from Memorial Day to Labor Day! That area is just awesome! I actually lived in Bonnett Shores all during college (one of the benefits of going to college and being that close to the beach). You'll have to let me know when it gets closer to the time you will be visiting and we plan to meet up. There is a fantastic place in South Kingstown called the Matunuck Oyster Bar that has awesome Seafood. My Wife and I have been there a few times. I know that Chris (cpdjfd107) wanted to get together last summer but we never found the time, so hopefully this year will be better! Good luck with the Snow/Ice/Wintery Mess & have fun with the new lift! Talk to you soon.

Good rant, it totally blows. Haven't taken mine out since Nov now. Even if there's no snow on the roads there's salt dust. And have you seen the size of the pot holes lately?? The salt not only melts the ice and snow but also corrodes the streets and highways. On top of that you have all the snow plows beating on the surface. At this rate I wont be taking my car out until late Spring early Summer.

Chris, I knew you would understand the R.I. Winter blues! My wifes BMW has run flat tires on it and we hit a pothole the other day and I swear the engine fell out of the car!
I actually caught myself opening the garage door the other night just to see the faint green light cast off by the battery tender. It is amazing the lengths I will go to for this car!
