"Tis the season for driving!"
 
Ah the joys of living in California. It's December 19th and I just returned from a cruise around the local back roads. A little brisk, but a nice day for a ride. I haven't been out for a while so it was good to stretch the legs of the Spit. I spent the ride chasing my buddy in his newly acquired Lotus Elan. Sweet car that one is.

Merry Christmas to all!

How lucky you are young Bob. Even if my car was on the road I dont think I would venture out very far. Maybe one or two inches out of the garage at best lol.

Happy Spitting... John Zissler

Bob, I know you posted that message because of what we got yesterday in the mid-Atlantic.

The only vehicle I drove today had tracks on it....

Well, I certainly didn't intend to rub anybodies face in it. I was just in a good mood after the ride. I'm originally from Illinois, so I know what real winters are about.

Well - I'm with Bob! Still running the Spit for work at least once a week! Having been born and raised in northern Ohio, I'm well aware of what fun Winter can bring... which is why I enjoy living in SoCal..
