« on: December 31, 2008, 19:29:29 »
It's a snowy day here on Cape Cod. I'd rather be driving a Pagoda or a golf ball right now!

I can certainly sympathize with that comment! I am in NE Ohio and it is white and wooly! I spent the Christmas Holiday in Vegas and Southern Cal, only to find they had almost as much snow as here!! (not in San Diego fortunately but getting there over the mountains weighed in at about 8 inches!!) Of course, now that I am back in Ohio, Vegas is in the 60's again....I guess I can just go out in the garage and stare at the Pagoda and wish for the warm weather.

Me too, it's painful to spend time in the garage just looking at mine lately, it's been really cold so far this winter.

What a beautiful photo of your cars,  and the setting is just as great..... something nice to think about.

Yes, John, I miss summer too! It was snowing again this morning here on Cape Cod and it's supposed to be only in the teens (F) on Friday.
I'm looking forward to seeing your third  :o  SL as soon as spring arrives or maybe on a nice day with no snow I can drive over to your place with my SL.

...I think that we all miss summer!  That said, the weather in the SF Bay Area has been very pagoda friendly (70s) since Saturday. I hope to get mine out again tomorrow before winter returns.  I almost put the hardtop back on last week...glad I didn't!

I thought you were a "legitimate businessman" in the "waste cartage industry" . . .
