Brrr!, it's cold in Houston tonight.

Sure am glad the 240D has a good heater.

Houston and cold is very relative. Cold? Sure, for Houston we dropped down into the low 30s last night. But you won't find much sympathy from the northern people when I tell them that I'm going to back the SL AMG out of the garage in an hour or two and drive around in the bright sun during a high temp of 64.

Though it was hideously cold, I didn't have to turn on the heater. I did however, have to use 2 blankets! OMG!

Is that above or below? Don't be ambigious.

weather

Here in Detroit, where the weak are killed and eaten (or saved for jerky) the temp is 16 with a wind chill factor oF -7 F.

But my 240D still runs just fine, even though it took forever to get a new plug for the block heater. After I shovel the car out, I'll install it.

Gotta go over to a garage sale LATER being held by a family whose father committed suicide after he lost his job.

WE JUST HIT 10.1% UNEMPLOYMENT, btw.

Lovely day in Michigan, the Novosibirsk / Gulag of America!

OOOps sorry- The People's Democratic Socialist Republik of Michigan.

God, it makes me nostalgic for the East Germany of the old Warschauer Vertrag (Warsaw Pact) days...

I hate you so much!

31 and the clouds are coming in, snow is on the way. We won't see the 60's again until the end of April.
