Day 10. The weather has been crummy and roads are full if salt, stones and pot holes. I'm going through the early stages of p car withdrawal. I almost sat inside to get a hit of the leather smell.

About the same here in in the DC area... It's just painful.

Yep.

Plugged the battery tender in also. Waiting for a break in weather and the roads to clear so I can take her out for a spin.

In the mean time, I just go look at it once in a while.:(

If it's any consolation, mine stayed in the garage for 8 days and I'm in the Dallas area.:(

I could never buy a nice car if I lived on the East Coast. That's why when I do visit I see a lot of American throw way cars I guess. It was Sunny clear and 65 in Nor Cal today. Supposed to be like that throughout the weekend. Then again you don't have to pay $3M for 2500 square foot house either. I guess we all have our crosses to bear.

Thanks for making me feel better.

That's gotta be terrible. How can you stand the mild temps? Beautiful vistas? The beach, the mountains, wine country? Well gotta go shovel some snow and spread some deicer on the driveway. Boy am I happy I don't have to worry about getting a tan in. December. :)

I took mine out today..... its a lease and not going to save it for the next guy...... think I have a slow leak in front right..... keeps losing air...... oh well. Put some air in and will prob drive tomorrow. Going to be 43 degrees.

I'm right there with you. Put mine away a couple of weeks ago. I feel lucky to have been able to drive it until early December this year. I don't mind driving in the dry, cold. . . but once they started throwing sand down on our local roads I had to put it away.

This also why I would never buy anything but a CAL car if used.

How's this for irony? 29 degrees, snow flurries, residual crap on the roads from this weekend's snow storm. The MKX was in the shop getting snow tires installed. I'm out driving the 991S Cab all day. Had to keep the top up, though.

I have two good excuses to get up early and go for a ride. So I put on long johns and sneak around the flakes:

It is supposed to get to the 60s here on Saturday and be sunny. I bet the lots will be full.

rnl Dec 19, 2013 05:59 AM

Well it's good news here too. 50s on Saturday. 68 on Sunday.

R, I'll point out something that may deal with your withdrawal.
There's some dirt under the wheel arches !! Time to get cleaning! :)
