wohaahhh! back to winter?!

Detroit's going to get about 4-8" of snow, I heard.
Chicago, maybe a sprinkle? dang, I thought we were done with
salty roads. hope they don't use salt on Sat so that I can
take my cars out on Sun... at least!

I had to pump up my 19's on my G35C today cause it lost a good 2psi
in the garage since last weekend (65F vs 45F in the garage)..and
turned the tires to prevent flat spotting the S03's.

my MCS's tires were not too low...but did lift the car and turned
the tires just in case.

I am just south of Detroit here. And we have already gotten about 2 inches I would say. The roads have not been plowed or salted yet either. Last Week I drove past a few County storage yards and noticed many of the trucks had the salt spreaders and the plows removed and in storage. I guess its good it wasnt a work day today. I took my Cooper out a little bit ago to run some errands, and I just cant believe that 3 days ago it was 83 degrees! Thats Michigan for ya I guess...

dang, sorry to hear about you guys out in MI. It was windy today (Sun) but sunny and cool....perfect for some motoring fun.


I'll be in Detroit again Wed (I fly there almost every week for biz) so
might actually see some snow?

Yeah the folks said in Bloomfield Hills, they got about 4" It was so windy Friday night that the cover blew 1/2 way off my MCS only the mirror pockets were holding it on (I have the Mini Outdoor cover)...

Wasn't so awesome on Sat morning hearing "ding ding" and seeing 37 flash on the tacho display...

Got to agree with Kenchan. This was a great day for motoring. It was nippy, started out below freezing here, but the air hasn't been this clean and crisp in some time. "Dingo" loved it!
