It's good to live in the south!

Right now it's 70 degrees and sunny outside:D

I think I'll flush my radiator and finally change my stuck open thermostat...

Just thought I'd share:flip:

It was 7* not including the windchill when I left the house this morning.

Oh well, I'll be in Florida at the end of next week so I'll get some break from the cold.

Hey Scott, you oughta stop back by sometime.  No one bought my Tbird so I guess we should make a flock out of our Birds and go cruise in this nice weather. :D  I gotta get mine tagged and inspected though, it's tough to take off work for that kinda .  :)  Probably do it next week.

Later-

COME HERE SO I CAN STRANGLE YOU!!!!!!!! GYAHHHHH AHRGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 
seriously one more LAME, SNOW-LESS winter and ill stab myself. i really love winter when theres lots of snow but how its been going i wish it was summer again.
 
and to be honest REGARDLESS, in the last couple of years, since ive become such a car-guy, winter just flat-out sucks no matter what. technically no snow at all would be best.
 
moral of the story--the northeast is no place for a car guy.:( :punchballs:

My thermostat is stuck shut these days, mainly because the engine cannot build enough heat to open it, even with the rad behind 1" of Styrofoam.  -36* right now, without that wind chill bs.

Here is a picture of the road into Thompson as of this morning.  And another pic of a tractor plowing a driveway in these parts.

my car runs and drives the way it sits, passes inspection too:flip: it just could use new rear gears (4.10's suck on gas, and are to easy to get in trouble with), aftermarket electric fuel pump is dieing so it needs a new one soon, tune up, all the fluids are gonna be changed, and the underside is gonna be undercoated, and the motor re painted. i have till october, so i got awhile.
