Will summer ever end??
« on: October 11, 2015, 20:24:16 »
 The calendar says fall but daytime temps still averaging close to 90f (32c) here in the foothills. Got the car out early today for jaunt up the hill and it was very pleasant but got a bit toasty by the time we parked our car back home in the garage. Ran into more traffic on our country roads then usual as this is the season for carloads of folks to come up and visit the many apple orchards in the area. The car has never run better and we still get such a kick out cruising around in our old friend.

 In the picture, the  "DRLs" (fog lights) were switched on to make sure all that oncoming traffic saw me ;D. Also the front left reflector just caught the sun as it is the early non-illumating type

Took the Pagoda out over the weekend and it was beautiful top down 30c temps for spring. Forgot to get a photo.

  Got it back in its temp cubby in our town house back yard last night and it rained over night I just hate that.

Rain? I wonder what that is ??? I think if parking my SL outside would make it rain, I just might consider it.
