I live in California but used to work for a company that supplied product to the Michigan Assembly lines..... I was in all of the major factories at least a week every month. I always made a point of not having any problems in the winter months..... even if there were problems.......

Why do you do it to yourselves........ ??? We have rain in San Diego this weekend and I had bust out my flannel shirt !!! I was pissed.....What's this world coming to ???

Because I live in a great big house, that would cost half a million in Sandy Eggo, plus a 28 X 40 shop, well-outfitted, and all the hobbies a man could want, on an income that I would starve on in SoCal....

Oh yeah, paid $25,000 for the house...and the spare lot.

What's a little snow??

I guess one should feel very fortunate to have the '52 F-1 they had as a teenager .Still have it after 40 yrs. Called the 1ST-RIDE because that is what it was .The very first vehicle I drove & owned . Bought it from Grandpa when I was 16 for $50 . Painted the original Vermillion Red w/ a BB Ford , C-6 & a '60 9"rear .It is nearly complete except custom made carbon fiber door panels with FORD script insignia ,carbon fiber trans cover , console & under seat panels and gas tank cover .Will post pics in gallery soon of truck and carbon fiber door inpection panels .
