But you don't get the thrill of driving her every year for the FIRST TIME. And every year it IS like the very first time behind the wheel... What a thrill!!!!!

You are so right - I can imagine that - the first trip out with the top down in the spring.

BUT you still have a better attitude than I might!

I wish all of our winters were like this winter. This morning it was foggy but the temps are great. Thank you global warming.

You just don't know how happy I am that I am in AZ. Take "Little Bugger" out all the time with the top down. My 3 Ash trees shed all their leaves and two weeks later they are growing their new crop. 68 degrees today, don't have to worry about shoveling snow.

Here in Montana, I've only have to shovel snow once or twice... and that was WAYYYYY back in October. Of course, next year may be different...

Default Back in the Garage

My 3rd winter here in Northern Ohio with the XLR and I never expected to be driving it as much as I have this year. The past 2 years the CTS with the winter tires got all the use and the XLR stayed warm in the garage except for brief drives when all conditions were good. (Note: Bad decision 20 years ago to only have a 2 car garage) With no snow and no salt on the roads, the black XLR has stayed fairly clean. Even washed both cars last Sunday as the temperature hit 40 with no wind and sunny. Until yesterday the CTS has been parked on the driveway going nowhere. A couple of inches of snow and now I remember what winter looks like!
