Took a long ride today in my 48. Very unusual to be driving a street rod January 8th in Maine. No snow and dry roads allowed me to cruise the interstate between Brunswick and Augusta. It was a " cool ride " with no heater and air temperature around 35 degrees. Nice ride though listening to some old rock and roll and the throaty Flowmaster 40's. I think that's it though till Spring.
The weather in the Northeast has been unbelievable but enjoy it while you can because you know it wont last..........remember last year?
Now from the Great White North, I live in Calgary, and would love to see some photo's from Calgary, and Edmonton, on this site, your site is excellent for looking at some very valuable photos of days gone by.
Was pretty nice just a bit South of you in Maryland........... 61 yesterday and in the upper 40's today and I got a bunch of miles in. Finished up with 37 degrees this evening (no heater either) Won't be any flat spots on my tires from sitting if I can help it.........
Tons of rods were out yesterday and today in the Detroit area. Very strange indeed seeing them out this time of year.
100 miles north of Detroit and we haven't had weather this mild this time of year in recent memory. Like someone already said, every day like this is one more we don't have to put up with the white stuff and one more day closer to spring. Two more months and we're home free. Frank
Yeah, I had mine out that last two days...very weird. I know PA is not Maine, but 63 on January 7th? I'm startin' to get nervous.
It was 70 a couple of days ago here in southeast North Carolina. 68 today. I can't believe it -- still wearing shorts in January! Makes working on the Cruiser a little easier in what is basically an unheated garage. I know it has to come to an end before long but has been nice while it lasted. No rain either lately and we need that bad.
