After my softball game today it was so nice I put the top down for the drive home. I left my sunglasses in my other car, oh, thought I was gonna die! :cool:

Man, you guys are writing about snow blowers and I got all sweaty mowing my yards today. Just imagine if we had to shovel or use scissors to maintain the yards:eek:. Afterwards took the wife out to lunch and then to the beach, in the Jägermobile of course. :cheers:

We get similar problems....It's called being snow blind.

Sorry guys, been driving around with the top down for the last 3 weeks. Last week it got into the 80s, had to turn the air conditioner on :cheers:

Ckrikos 02-23-2014 01:22 PM

I shoveled about 50x10ft today. Now i can get the tt out of the garage, but not yet out of the driveway. I have another 50 ft to go.

Last three months here, actually we never had winter arrive period. Bought my car in October and never have driven with lid closed. Daaammm I hate drought but dammmmm I love the warm winter, especially since owning a convertible.

Hey Jake,

Why don't you just throw salt in our wounds?

Snow tonight, Tuesday & Wednesday.

tomonomics 02-23-2014 04:06 PM

Warmed up to 55 today, so I figured I'd exercise the top/motors/etc. More snow and cold coming east this week, but thankfully I'll be in Vegas.

Thursday I was very happy to drive to work. Roads had that glazed feel to them so I had to be careful in the AM but the PM ride home was nice
The pot holes around here are a whole different thing.

Perfectlap 02-23-2014 06:23 PM

Tomonomics, you know that front license plate is actually optional right?

I haven't had a front license plate on a car in NJ since Bill Clinton was President.
99% of time they don't even bother to write the ticket and if they do write at ticket,
it's better than having the Staties use it to zap me with the lazer on the Parkway.
As a matter of fact I got a ticket on the Parkway recently (warning with a fine) and they didn't even look at the front of the car.

Ckrikos 02-23-2014 06:29 PM

I got one front license plate ticket while living in ny out in Nassau county. $100 for 14 years with no front plate.

P-Lap, I agree it's not a big deal most of the time, as I had no front tag on my Miata for 10 years and only received one warning. However, after getting two tickets at $100 each during the first ~five months in the Boxster, I decided it was no longer 'optional'. Sometimes it just comes down to the town you're in, the car you're in, and how Johnny Law feels that day.

I put it back on for inspection, and mounted it low and recessed into the front spoiler so I don't even see it when I walk around the car. It's been there ever since and doesn't bother me anymore. While I prefer the look without it, I choose to keep a low profile and not draw attention in that regard.
