But with ~8" of snow on the ground, single digit temperatures and another 4-6 inches of the white stuff coming tonight that aint gonna happen anytime soon :( Best I could do to get a fix was pull it outside this afternoon and listen to it run for a while.

Sure am envious of you Florida, Arizona and So-Cal guys right now (and feeling sorry for our Canadian brothers)! Come on Spring :cool:

Jeff feel your pain, as I'm drooling also. I have a new coolant sensor to install tomorrow and the rain is suppose to hold off till tomorrow night so I'm hoping to get in a little spin, even if it's bloodly cold. Just need to feel the *** end get loose once.
Happy Holidays,
Doutie

I'm sure I could find something to do in that amazing garage. You may be jealous of our weather (BTW...80 this weekend), I'm jealous of your shop. :cool:

Jeff,
Moving my cars around in the garage yesterday I noticed that the Cobra only had a half tank of gas in it, so I decided to take it for a spin to the local gas station. 18 degrees when I left, 45 minutes later it was 22 degrees when I got back. Forget about the temperature, dress for it and take the car out for a drive. it is good for the soul.

PS: As far as the snow goes, the deeper the snow, the more traction you have :D

Bill,
I know all about your New Years Day drive tradition and thought of you when I pulled it out. I've done exactly what you described many times when its been below freezing and the roads are dry---you'll head out for a quick spin and next thing you know an hour has passed and the odometer has clicked off 40 or 50 miles :) Heck, I've autocrossed it at 30 degrees before! No can do with inches of packed snow & ice on the road though :(

I'll be more than glad to swap you for the weather we have coming tonight.
Lets just say that to cover my backside I filled the gas cans for the generator!:p

I know the feeling. It'll be 50 degrees here on Friday so I plan to hit the road to do some advertising.

Turned the heater on for 2 hours just to get my shop to 40 so it was a little more comfortable to work on. -5 outside so 40 felt like a heat wave. Ordered tires yesterday so should have it rolling next weekend!
