Re: CRUISIN AT CHRISTMAS!!



I am in California, which may be a bad word during harsh winters elsewhere, but I am glad many of you are enjoying a milder winter than usual.  Of course CA has a diverse climate and although I am in a San Diego suburb called Santee, we enjoy a “taste” of the seasons since all the temperate weather from ocean breezes are blocked by the hills and valleys that surround us just a 1/4mile from the San Diego city line.  Every house, yard, outside vehicle is frosted white and occasionally the car doors freeze shut.  Our local mountains (Mt. Laguna 5805ft. and Mt. Palomar 5500+ft.& home of the Observatory), 30-50min. drive, get over a foot of snow just before Thanksgiving, Christmas, and again in March.  Our Santee winter mornings are the usual 25-28deg. F and rise to 70-75+ during mid-day.  I love the colder winter mornings when it drops to 18/19deg. F (a few of our colder days) and always enjoy taking the 340 Dart out on the 28deg.-40deg. mornings and early evenings.  No lie; it literally gains 30+HP and wants to REV itself to death in that cold dry weather.  Forget cruising during our hot summer days – give me the cold/dry days – that’s when I take the car out.  Took the little A-body beast out yesterday and pitched it sideways with half-throttle...need to get some sticky street slicks; turns mid to high twelves at the track – 12.8 @106MPH last official visit to the quarter mile but am relegated lately to “testing” on the non-sanctioned areas...
 
Have a great and SAFE New Year!

No such luck here - Wisconsin - land of the salt truck.  We have had the great, mild weather (mid 40s over the weekend), but the roads are already ruined with salt and chemicals until the spring rains.  We're still enjoying the grass on the lawn with no snow - at least for the moment.  Glad to hear you had a great time, though!

If my car was ready I could have it out too here in Omaha. Our weather is real decent also. Glad you're having fun.

Well my wife and I got the 64 polara out on Christmas day after all of
the kids were gone and went for about an hour cruise. Felt great and
the heater was working good.

What's the big deal about that? Well let me put it this way. Usually
in North Dakota at this time of the year we are butt deep (had to
watch the language) in snow. By now we usually have 18 to 24 inches
and -20 degrees for high temps for the day. Not this year. One day a
light dusting of maybe 1/2 inch but the next day it was gone with a 50
degree weekend. Yess!  Also, we don't salt our roads around here, we
save it to season the Lutefisk. (ISH!)

So why not take it out on Christmas Day, a treat for us and the car.
Just hope our weather keeps up and can do it again on New years. But
as the saying goes around here. If you don't like the weather, wait a
few hours and it will change.

Happy New year to all club members. It has been a great year for me
car wise. It is finished!!
