    Going for a drive!

    Car has been parked for over a month but right now it's 42 degrees, the roads are dry and there isn't a cloud in the sky. See ya' all in 50 or a hundred miles

    Sounds like fun. I have some more door adjustment, trunk fitting, windshield, and a few other small things before I can drive mine to the DMV for registration. Hope to get some winter miles on it before it gets hot here. Good luck, WEK.

    My temperature tolerance levels for Cobra driving:

    70 - Lower end of comfort range
    60 - Lower end of tolerance range
    50 - Don't think I'll take the car out today
    40 - Go online to find and purchase seat heaters
    30 - Sit in front of the fireplace and think about installing the seat heaters
    20 - Are you crazy?

    I guess I'm spoiled by intermittent warm winter temperatures here, but some of the folks who tolerate 40 degrees astound me. Then again, I suppose the folks in Florida consider NC part of the great white north. It's all relative.

    So I take it that pulling out of the the garage when it's 25 degrees to go to an autocross is out of the question, eh Blue? Done that more than a few times but I will admit to putting the helmet on when it's below 30 if I'm going farther than just a few miles on the interstate. No heater or seat heaters but mid 40's with sunshine is a piece of cake
