Hell I'm in SC and it's about 30F or so. Way too cold for the south.

My dad and his buddies (grumpy old men) drove down on Sunday to do some golfing at Myrtle Beach. Came home already last night.

Ok, now we just need one of those Southern California "I drive my vette all year" types to chime in and talk about how they took a cruise in the warm sunshine today with the top down. :mad :lolg:

I cant recall a winter like this in quite a while and my 49 year old bones do not like this. Headed to the garage tomorrow to fire up Mr Vette and go for a battery charging ride! :smash:

I'm in Southern (very) Georgia and it's supposed to get to 12F. I moved from Minot, ND to get away from this poopie. If you got a heated garage, I suggest you use it :eek: :crazy: :flag
