I am really hopeful that this type of early Spring in the Northeast will continue so that I might be able to pull the "covers" off the baby . I  am chomping at the bit to really get her out!!!I really envy all of you that live in warmer climates-sans snow-that you have the opportunity to drive your Shelby on a regular basis. The reason why I have not taken her out yet is always the surprise of a severe snowstorm plus there is plenty of cinders still on our roads.I pray that the groundhog here in Pa was wrong,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Think SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!

+ 1 !!! I have been looking at gated communitys down south for myself something near hilton head. I could get away and stay with my mom and use the excuse that she needs me for health reasons. But either way, I can't stand this crazy weather and snow is on my kill list. Everytime we get snow the wife either takes care of it or it can stay that way. The one time my wife had foot surgery and her mom was here and it snowed. She asked me if I was going to shovel, I laughed at her she ended up doing it.  Plus around me and when I lived in Blooming grove, Orange county. The towns love to drop not lay drop tiny tiny gravel so when you go over it either had to floor it or swim in it. No matter what you did your car was screwed and forget about washing your car why would you want to wash away that gritty dust off your car. It gives your paint sex appeal so snow or no snow your still screwed.  The best is a couple of guys have snow plows so they will clear the road for us 2 wheelers. The town went nuts they wanted to hand out tickets for doing the towns job.

Only thing Dan, in the Cobra, the havelina would probably get stuck in the front opening and not bounce of the bumper like it did on your Super Snake.  Then you would have some fun fighting with it while trying to pull it out... :hysterical2:

And yes, the weather was great this weekend.

Leaving in Florida is great to put the top down and go for a cruise.

I think I may even drive mine to work tomorrow.
