Was 15F this morning, just a little left over snow dust (or was that salt?) on the road. I find you have to close the doors when scraping ice off the front window or it falls into the car. The vinyl windows need cleaning, right now it's hard to see through them due to glare. The back window never needs ice scraped off because of the little overhang of the sport bar. Fill the windshield washer bottle (how many Vipers still have the factory fill washer fluid inside?) It takes a while for the inside to warm up because it's a little drafty around the center console (got to replace the rubber sheet under the shifter.) Even with the heat on full, probably 15 minutes. Tires take about that long, too, and even so the rears seem more squirrelly until the sun warms the roads. After all that, though, it's always a "good air" day when it's cooler out.
Compared to the cars of the 70's, the corrosion resistance of these frames will outlive us, I think. My plan is that I drive this one until the car falls apart, then I find a new one from one of you and start over again. Only have 67,000 miles, wish I lived further from work. (Well, right now, wish I had some work.) Unless there is snow on the ground, it goes.
