New Streamlined RX7 body.

Nearly 2 weeks ago we had an ice storm, now we have this. Opened the front door and I was greeted with new body lines on my 2nd gen. Thought this pic might be good for laugh. Snow, Bah Humbug.

Daytime pic. This is a good lesson in aerodynamics. Car is facing south, wind came from the north and smoothed the body lines out for the best air flow. Use the WB as a snow plow, nice one Kevin, lol.

It was nice here today, it hit 50, but it was raining and crappy all day. We've only had one real snow storm of the season and it put 4-5" on the ground. My S5 made it thru like a champ without the aid of an LSD.

I have been watching the weather because I need to re-duct tape the back window of my FB. Sad but if I don't rain will get into the hatch area.

Sigh...

I can easily visit Florida on the hottest day in summer...try North Dakota in February. Bet you can't survive more than 15 minutes.

Snow or ice? We have had both fairly regularly. How long were you without power, trochoid?

Freezing rain sucks, scraping your windows 5 times in one day is no fun, especially when you were only at home and work on that day haha!

Freezing rain especially sucks when it gets into the door jambs and you have to go and boil up water to pour down the door to open it.

But, since I have all week off............bring on snow and ice!!
