please make up your mind

MOTHER NATURE, PLEASE MAKE UP YOUR MIND!


In the past 4 weeks, I have been able to take my '71 vert out only twice for a nice cruise. For the past few weeks it was so bloody hot and humid in Maryland that it would have fried you like a bug after only driving for about 30 minutes (I know, I tried...aloe vera good, sun bad). Now, it has been cloudy, rainy and highs of around 65 for the past 3 days, and this is supposed to continue for the next week.


Anybody out there enjoying some nice cruisin' weather? I just might have to move.

SF Bay Area, it's expensive, but in my area it's pretty much high 60s low 70s almost all year round. I cruise the coast, hwy 1, almost every weekend.

I have taken a couple this year in Md. I have been taking them in the late afternoon. With this weather I don't know when I will go again.

By the way the rims I got from you a while back look good on my car.

We will have to get together and go cruising.

Northern Ca. has been just fine. I did a north coast road trip last week for 500+ miles with the top down most of it. Soon it will heat up and top down will be a evening thing only.....Tedd

Yesterday I heard on the radio the temp was a record low for the date in the ~40s. Two days ago on Saturday it was close to 90. Central mass.

Glad they're working out for you. They just weren't me. I like my classic cragars.

My mother-in law lives down there (Stephenville, TX). She said that she watched a tornado from her window going across the ranch. No one hurt, and the horses are fine.


That's good news I guess. Even if it did miss her.

Weather shmeather.
I get tired of waiting for good weather.
I feel your pain though. There's nothing like a good rag top day!!
My favorite is to go out for a late night cruise after it's been beastly hot all day long... I miss having a convertible.

Yep, but now the heat is on! I Finally got Lady to the inspection place today, since it has been expired since Feb. It was either too cold or too rainy to do before hand. I was now sweating it out in the sun. Evenings should be nice for a few more weeks......

I'm thinking about it. It's still raining this morning and is supposed to continue 'till Sunday. Then guess what...


One clear day Sunday, and then instead of 55-65 and raining, Monday starts 85-90 and raining.

It was the 2006 Mustang coupe. This is the second time I get to spend about $1k on it in the past 3 years.
