I couldn't stand it any more!!
« on: March 24, 2009 - 09:11:52 PM »
Well,
we had about two or three nice spring weather days and then right back into winter!! :faint:I think we might just skip spring and go from 42 to 92!! Right into summer! I hope not. Well my car club (Tidewater Mopar Club) is having our first show and shine of the year this Saturday (free BBQ and giveaways!) at Hall Dodge in Virginia Beach. The weather isn't looking too good. Rain for the next two days UGH!! Hopefully it will hold off for Saturday?? :dunno:Today was sunny but cold. The high was about 42. I couldn't stand it any more, so I rolled the Challenger out of the garage and washed and waxed it. My hands are numb!  :roflsmiley:This is the first time I've put wax on it since the paint job last year. I use Zaino's wax and LUV it. I bought a Black & Decker 6" random orbital buffer. It lasted about 15 minutes and started to sound like it was going to launch into orbit!! What ever happened to quality? :swear: I paid $29.00 bucks at Pep Boy's. I kept using it anyway and the car looks like glass again!! Hopefully I'll be able to drive it to the show on DRY pavement!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

I'm hoping we're done with the white stuff but I'm not holding my breath.  I too can relate to your situation.  :sadwavey:

Started raining here last night but it is not too bad. 
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development

Not much worry here about snow, but now that spring is here the damn wind is starting to blow! 40 to 50 MPH gusts are normal here for the spring. One spring day several years ago we had gusts over 100 MPH that actually blew over several trees and tipped over an unloaded semi that got broadside to the wind on an overpass at the edge of town! :scared:
