Not digging GA as much as Chicago? It surely must be warmer there at least! It was 30 degrees this morning here. Snowing lightly yesterday! Windy as heck for the past few days, too.

Also, for those curious: MotoringFile did a nice comparison between the MINI and the Fiat earlier this year. It gives an interesting perspective on what Fiat is going for. However, the review is a little out of date because it doesn't address the fact that the Abarth is coming. So it paints Fiat as a non-competitor of MINI.

Well, I miss it a lot, but Athens is nice. I have family and friends there. I just spent the weekend with a group of friends who still live in the city. I'll be back up in the summer for a visit, but probably on the South side.
