As you can tell - I like to ski! (For the non-skiers it's "Bump Skier"
How are your knees holding up in the 'bumps', are they young or old knees?

Smooth and steady. I actually didn't become a bump/tree skier until my late 20's. Then I joined ski patrol and learned to be a much better skier.

Now, quickly approaching 40 (less than a year away), I can still do a zipper line down a mogul run if I needed to, but would prefer some nice quick turns on some short flexible ski through the bumps.

Beautiful C4S Cab in silver. Wonderful looking machine. Enjoy it!! It's 24 degrees here in the Philly burbs this morning and I actually took mine out for a ride! (Take that Tim!! What a great car. I don't want a repeat of the sulfating battery disaster that I experienced last winter this season - so I pledge to take it out every couple of weeks during the winter and run it up to operating temperature. It ran like the middle of summer! And Tim, no cracks from you that in the middle of summer it just sat and sat in my garage!

Phil - Is there salt...on the underside of your car?? Can it be?? You don't have a head injury of some kind do you? Even I didn't venture out due to all the salt on the roads today!

I've never even eaten a soft pretzel in my car - there's zero salt anywhere on or in the car! Our roads were completely clear last weekend - northern Jersey got some, we didn't. Now, there's some salt from this week's ice, so it sleeps until the roads are clear again.
