I know what you mean. I have a lamp heater in my garage, and also a radiator heater. I usually crank them up on a Friday after work (for a few hours) then work in the garage on my car. It gets so warm in there I usually have to crack open the garage door a bit...

I did a bunch of stuff last spring, so not too much this year. I just had my fuel rail covers and helmet custom painted and that's it.

Had a supercharger installed and I changed the interior from gray to black. Next, smoothie FRCs and a custom painted hoodliner from AutoBuffs. Just waiting for them to arrive for the install. Almost forgot, had the nose repainted to remove all the stone chips.
