Also i laughed at stoping at a steet light and having your warm tires instantly freezing to the pavement.


Obviously you still had summer air in your tires. If you had replaced it with winter air, like you're supposed to, you wouldn't have that problem.

Hey Russ, Don't worry about our Yankee Brothers. They are so full of hot air that they don't have  to worry about locking up. But I will have to say that even Southerners, who are Gentlemen, Scholars and a Friend of the Little People don't deal with  -7 degree weather very well as in Joes case. Gezz !!!
        I haven't heard from Kile. Has he and Betty gone North with the new tranny to retrive the Van ?   Lord !! I can't imagine laying on the ground putting that tranny in with all that snow and ice those guys got.  :roll:  :(

I talked to Kyle on the phone back in December and I offered to trailer his van to my house so he could use my garage in a warmer more 70 degree enviroment, but he declined. He said it would be too much trouble and that it won't take him long to stick it back in. Maybe when he gets back up here he will change his mind. Brrr!!!
It's supposed to be 50 degrees on Sunday though. Yee Haw!!!

Me a Yankee? I really do not concider my self one. I moved here when i was 6 years old and am 43 going on 44 in a month. Only 5 of those 37 years spent living some where were back up there in the midwest because of a good job with a big company.  So i think of myself as a southener.. :D
Besides up the in area of Iowa i was from they do not like to drive " them foreign cars ". They only drive american made. So very few vws around the area unless you get into the big cities like Des. Moines and the Quad Cities etc.
