I use to love the winter snow, ...Now

[Fakeyankee]

It really sucks !!! This is the first winter I've had my 86 T Type. We have 15 inches of snow here in MA. , and all I can do is look at my covered TR and dream of the warmer months to come. I really envy you guys in the warmer climates now !! This , REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, SUCKS !!!!!!

I agree, I hate to put the car away but in spring theirs nothing better than getting my car out of storage. It also helps keep the mileage down.. Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself.

Where did you get 15"?? Cape cod? Time to buy a winter beater.

Cause we only got about 4" in NH


I would not worry, a couple of warm days from those ocean breezes loaded with salt & your snow will be gone.

They got alot more down there than we did. Sunday coming home from my Mother's, Rt 3 in Burlington was a mess. By the time I was in Tyngsboro it was just wet pavement. Past couple of years south of Boston back toward RI has been hit the most for snow. We've kind of been on ligher side for snow (not cold temps though).

i'm a little inland from the cape. Pronto is right, the last 4 or 5 years we have been in the main snow fall band. Didn't have the TR then so we weathered out the snow and cold until the warmer months. I just retired this year and got the car as my retirement gift from my wife. Had about 4 weeks worth of good driving weather ( not good enough to take the T tops off ) and was getting use to the fun of driving it. I feel like a kid again every time I drive it !! Now all this snow is just bumming me out, knowing that it will be a stretch before I can take it out again. God this sucks !!! Thanks for the replys....just feeling a little blue is all.

Do they use salt on the roads out there. Here in Milwaukee the roads are like driving on gravel. They predict a little snow or freezing rain and the city is out in full force dumping salt on the roads. The snow isn't the problem it's the salt that kills the cars here.

 

[Fakeyankee]

Yeah, they salt the crap out of the roads here. I will not drive my TR during bad weather ( It's my baby !! ). If I did...it would rust out in a couple of years and we can't have non of that !! Lucky enough to have a couple of other cars to drive during this time. Arizona sure sounds like a good place to be right about now !

Yes i agree , what really sucks is screwing up the motor you just freshly rebuilt on Christmass day and now having to wait till spring to get back on it , cant hold up my parents garage any more than i did already . living in an apt makes it hard to do projects like that . Im waiting for my Diesel F350 to come in for this snow crap . even still it blows ............

Well, let me jump in here. Frist off----GO RED SOX !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nation of domination!!!
Secondly, You need to get a winter hobby. Don't get mad at it, play in it. I personaly have some sleds for the family. If you love acceleration, you can appreciate 150 ponies in a 500 lb package. It's arm stretching fun----that's how I keep myself occupied during the off TR months. Only downside is, there is no down time in the cash outlay dept. Here's wishing for another NorEaster. Brian

We got hammered with 1/2 inch of snow last week. Just sold a 98 srx 700 that was rated at 142hp before any mods. That one went in Oct. NO SNOW. Had to sell. NO SNOW. Now, trying to deal with this T. What turbo?????

Anyways.............. We want warmer weather 2......
Christmas Eve....-15 degrees for real....

I want to................ but I'm not sayin' a word.
