Default Happy driving everyone

I would like to wish a happy driving day/weekend for everyone out there today that has nice weather.

The DFW area (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX) is blessed with sunny temperatures in the mid 70s yesterday and today. I look like this today --->

I ran some errands today and what was suppose to only last 30 minutes, lasted an hour and a half because I took alternative routes...

Hopefully with the top down, wind blowing through hair and only slightly exceeding a safe speed from time to time.

I sure was happy driving around this morning, even plowed some side-streets with my front bumper lol

If you look closely you can see another SC on the towtruck in front of me!

Nice. I believe it was something like 75 today in the DFW area. I took the top down at 62 last night and it was nice. I take advantage when I can drive the wifes car! She doesn't like her hair blowing. Are you kidding me? Oh well. It is her car!

You people make me sic. You get to ride around and enjoy your vehicles and I get to shovel the driveway. It just ain't fair I tell ya! I'm going to take care of that and head south on Monday. Of course we're not taking the SC, (not enough room) because we are staying for awhile, and taking too much stuff. The battery tender is hooked-up and the sta-bil is in, and the tank is full. Maybe next year.

Scdroptop hope you're kidding about the snow/sleet. Of course I'm not headed that way but it could be headed for the east coast, and that is were I'm headed.

He's not kidding. We're in the mid 60's today and on Tuesday, the low's suppose to be 18 (high is 35). Somehow Wednesday is suppose to be colder. Don't ask... we don't know since we're in Texas.

I am envious. Here in Socal, it's mostly sunny with temperatures ranging from 70-75 degrees. I don't have an SC430, only a GS400 and the only thing I can do is open up the sunroof, but it's NO SUBSTITUTION for a drop top! I've only driven an SC430 a couple of times with the top down, but I love the feeling of the open space.

Beautiful here in the FL panhandle this weekend in the low 70s. Too bad I picked this weekend of all to get my windows tinted...can't roll em down or drop the top for three days...DOH! Just have to take the bike out for open air today.

Dropped the top today at 43 degrees. Sunny and clear in the NW, so I had to take advantage of it.

Yeah I got funny looks, but you don't buy this car to just sit inside of it

good for you. Today here in the DFW area: freezing rain, snow, wind gusts up to 30mph and we had thunderstorms earlier! Probably headed your way! All schools have closed.
