    I kinda put my toys away during monsoon season here. The rest of the year is free game though. It's because the roadster has no windows and coupe no hood, I need a 4 season ride :( I have been known to throw a gortex jacket on and drive in the rain a little:)

    Actually it was 65 here a day or so ago too, untill the huricane came yesterday:eek:

    I'd drive year round also if it wasn't for salt like Brian said, it's terrible on cars. I can't sacrifice old cars to the gods of salt yet, only new crap (although I'm bummed my 03 suburban is rusting..)

    I LOVE spring/fall and all but the coldest part of winter, I HATE working on cars in 90 deg. heat with 90 deg humidity, HATE it. Yeah AC helps, but half my cars are outside, and I dread it in august.
    Give me 50's and 60's and sunny to work on my cars ANY time over that. Hell even into the 30's ain't bad if you bundle up.
    Plus I love me a white christmas, it's just the white feburary and march I can do without:D.

    Now if I could just figure out how to get all me tree leaves to fall into the neighbors yard.....

    Things are winding down in Boi Angeles Idaho. The mountains have had snow and won't be long until it hits the valleys. Mine are licensed and insured all year so always have that option if we have a nice day. We have a local New Years Day cruise that always brings out the hardy even when we have a couple inches of snow. Like flynbrian48 I have a winter project to tend to keep me sane. We hope so anyway.

    Man o man, We just got done pulling all the open stuff out of the garage! Too many things going on in the coming 10-12 weeks or so to even think about! To quote Daniel Tosh from comedy central, "I love the seasons, that's why I live somewhere that skips most of the shitty ones!"

    I try to drive mine every day until the first snow (and some years we don't have any) but once they salt the streets it's over until a good spring rain to wash the salt away.

    very seldom down here that we cannot go flying or hotrodding. Even when it's a bit chilly, it's usually clear and crisp. Club jacket, watch cap, decent gloves, you're cruisin'.

    Like other's have said, winter is the project season.....

    As with Roger in Denver, we have at least one nice day every month, so you can still drag the toys out, but if it never snowed, I'd never take anything apart to make it better.....although, I never take both Harleys apart at the same time...

    My coupe is put away for the winter too, sadly the '47 never came out.......

    Winters in Michigan are for working on other toys while the finished ones hibernate

    You can rub in the fact you have trees in the midwest, and water, and grass. I grew up in MN and miss those things......OK I'm going for a drive now:)

    Brian, You got a sweet ride there, but I don't know if I would be broadcasting it's in a trailer, with all the thefts being reported on here lately.
