Things are really jacked up here in Denver. As most of you know, we got a couple of feet of snow last Wed-Thurs. Weather hasn't been much help in melting that dump. It has just started snowing again and we're due for another 12"-18" in the next 24 hours.

I did order some "accessories" from Partsrack and guess I can play with them in the garage.

I'm still driving it. Christmas temps were hovering in the mid-50s. Talk about global warming. See the trend for the past 125 years. Currently it looks like the 2001-02 winter season all over again.

I am in Brazil until mid January. Otherwise, given the temps I have heard over the past couple weeks I sure would have been on the road.

But dammit I have to go to the beach again tomorrow. Darnit!

Had my GTS out this morning but alas it is snowing here in MA. and I just heard the sanders go by my house so I suspect that it is in til spring, I quess it is safe to start those winter projects now as I don't think the salt will wash away before spring.sad day for sure!!! :usa: :2tu:

Talk about global warming! I've lived in Michigan for over 36 years and it's NEVER been snow-less through December. There's definitely something weird going on.

It's nice to have mild weather but it's just really freaky.

Tom the recent weather trend is because I am in Brazil. I am certain it will get cold just before I return in 2 weeks. It was cold and snowy just before I left if I recall. If it continues to be nice I will have to unbundle her and get a ride in.

And yes Bruce, having the beach environment does minimize the lack of Viper driving. Unfortunately proper marriage behavior prevents me from getting proper pictures for later review!

Ron i will be extremely disspointed if you do not have proper visual proof of the natural beauty of that country when you return, more specifically the hills and valleys !

It's new years day here in Toronto and another great day. Unfortunately I cancelled my road insurance as of today. So even though it's a great day for a drive I now have to put her away until spring.

Damn

Ron, It's easy to catch the sights of the beach. Just make sure you wear sunglasses and never look in the direction your head is facing. Not that I've ever done that ;)

Don't like to brag BUT...drove the Viper again all day today. May as well enjoy the global warming thing .
I usually keep the insurance all year on my bikes and cars...less hassle...boy I'm glad I did this year anyway...usually in Buffalo we're only good until the first week of December

It's been in the 50's here since well before Christmas, but there is no way in heck I'd be caught out in my GTS. Too much gravel/sand/salt/grunge on the road, not to mention all the winter beaters roaming around.
Today I saw a couple; a beat up '68 Dodge 1/2ton, and a red F430 cabrio. Both drivers on the phone, in heavy trafic. (and the truck was cleaner than the F430!)
