SW Michigan in December had the Olds out twice anyone else?

No salt on the roads yet... in south west Michigan. Sunny and mid 50's this past weekend. Had the 442 out twice! It was unexpected and very enjoyable! I've owned the car since 84 and don't ever remember having it out so late in the season. Any one else get one more in? Tom

Had my SX out Sunday here south of Lansing. I think Wednesday's weather will be more normal for Michigan. Snow and cold.

Ya, I did a cars and coffee on the first (about 70 miles round trip) and then a little run to the store for fun. I haven't covered her up for the winter yet (might squeeze another in if the roads don't ice over..... Tedd

Just the opposite here. I'm pulling mine out of summer storage and getting ready for winter driving season.

Went to a nice car show collecting toys for local kids Saturday, thought I was going to get sunburn.

I drove my 70 to work on 12/1. I was able to smack it hard once on an on ramp. Not sure if the smile will last all winter ... It snowed today in northern Utah.

Oh how I miss Utah skiing. I haven't been out there for about 6 years. I heard Powder Mt. went more toward the commercial realm. I hope it was for the best.

Anyway mine is out all year. Hooked up the heater core the other day and as I suspected, it leaks. I ordered another a while back so after I replace that any nice day I have time it will be on the road. Been told not to put the top down below 50 degrees so that kills my open cruise in the winter.

We could have taken the Muskrats convert out or the '57 on the weekend, but got caught up tinkering instead and tidying up around the yard and then it was DARK. Funny how that happens. Even missed a flea market at the International Centre that I go to every Dec.

I thought briefly about it! But decided on going through the dailies with a wash, wax and detail.
