Default Finally Got My Turbo Installed

As I was driving home tonight, navigating around the cattle who have recently lost their collective ability to drive as fast as the posted speed limit, I noticed the Hot Rod was accelerating much more briskly than usual. Then I remembered it's currently almost as cold as a witches tits outside, and the ol' butt dyno was feeling the 60 degrees-colder, denser air and the mild power boost that comes with it.



wheeeeeeeeeee



Ah, the fun time between the onset of cold and the onset of terrible winter driving conditions :biggrin:

I could have lived anywhere. I chose a place where I can go outside with clothes on in the summer and not sweat to death, and where I could go outside every day in the winter without a shovel. I win.

You're right, we don't. It's funny that at times, the northerners describe their surroundings as hell, yet when asked why not just move south, all the sudden it's Disney World up there. "I love the changing seasons!" Yea, well so do we. We just don't have to endure the 2 crappy ones to enjoy the 2 good ones.



Enjoy shoveling snow. I'll be at the lake tomorrow sailing in 60 degrees.

Too hot for me down there.



The average high for us this year in the summer was 80, maybe 3 or 4 90*/humid days and that's about all I can take. I'm in shorts and a tshirt when it's 40s/50's here.



Plus I can't have a sled down there and that's my favorite part of winter.

I like playing in the snow like anyone else. But that's a drive or short flight away.
