This weather has been so warm and no snow in Southern Illinois yet. Took advantage of another nice day to clean up the pony. So here are a few pics. Included some of my new tires too.
No, I'm not complaining. It is just unusual not to have any snow yet. I was just trying to put a new post on 2.3 talk. It has been so dead lately. No posts some days
Damn I'm usually complaining about all the damn snow that god is trowing at us, but for the first time, I wish to get some snow.... that's the proof of a polluted planet.
I think we can blame the colorado to steal all the snow
My original headlights I kept looking good by sanding, rubbing compound and polishing them. About 2 yrs ago, I splurged and got Ford headlamps/seals/backing plates, bulbs & retainers (didn't use stock bulbs, I use silverstars). The cost was extreme, but the dealer 1 1/2 away had them. I gave them $288 for the pair and installed them the same day. New headlights are the best way to restore that new car look. If I had known how much sweeter it looks with the new ones, I probably would have done it earlier instead of sanding and polishing.
I think it is mostly the incline. It has not been too long that I put KYB shocks and struts on her. The back end does have some weight with the two 10" subs and sealed box. It helps in the snow like the concrete blocks I use to use in a small tool box in the hatch.
Lots of places out here broke record LOW temps over the last four days. Dang near scraped 0 degrees here in the low mountains of SoCal. Lost two pipes in the house because of it and occasionally a hypothermic bird would fall out of a tree somewhere in the night.
BTW glow, that is probably the cleanest 2.3 Mustang I've seen.
It finally got cold here too, 27 degrees right now. Ground is finally getting frozen and fluries have been flying. Still no accumulation though. Oh well. I can live with it
Yeah the cold arrived on UPS with a couple of nitrous bottles I bought.
Last weekend I was talking to stinger on the phone outside in short sleeves drinking a beer (comfortable). At the same time he said he was having a hard time doing much because it was 17*!!!! Thats a big temp drop.
Winter finally hit last night, got about 3" and supposed to top out at 5".
Finally some snow. Now just need it to last for a week or two so I can play in it then it can go away and we can get back to the 30 deg nights and 50 deg days til summer hits.
