It's Friggin' Cold!!!
Yup, yours truly has invaded the NE since I'm spending Turkey Day in Wiscasset, Maine.
Snowed the whole way in from Portland and I even managed to get my Chrysler 200 rental car stuck in the driveway thanks to all the snow that's come down.
Not sure how you guys drive your 8's in this weather.
I bet my GF $20 that I wouldn't see a single 8 the entire time we're here.
kinnda hoping I'm wrong.
anyways, just wanted to say Hi.
Planning on eating lots of turkey, desserts, and of course LOBSTER while I'm here. Probably hitting up a few good eating spots in Portland, Rockland, and anywhere else I can find.

There are worse times to visit
A moderate low-end torque American RWD with cheap all seasons is a terrible way to deal with the snow. A low low-end torque balanced RWD with quality snow tires does JUUUSSSTTTT fine

I'll try the clam chowder just for you but I'm not gonna like it.
Heading up to Rockland to have some seafood tomorrow and apparently there's some car museum there as well that we're checking out.

Haha, I wish it was in the 70's. Wrenching on your car on Turkey Day? You're such a Commie, get in the house and enjoy some grub.

Cowboys just barely squeaked out a win and the stupid Ravens smashed the Niners O-line and pounded us into submission.
I don't mind it to be honest but mainly because I know I only have to deal with it for a few days.
if I had to live here.... yeah....no way.

As for driving in the snow... yeah it does suck the couple times a year we get it. Not as frequent down here, but we can can get hit with a good Nor'easter once in a while, and my car sits until there is no snow (and salt) left on the road. Minor inconvenience in comparison to being able to drive it the rest of the time though.Hope you enjoyed your trip!

Hey Jedi! I thoroughly enjoyed the Ravens game. As for driving in the snow... yeah it does suck the couple times a year we get it.

driving in the snow is fun, I just cant imagine doing it in my RX8, I get the feeling I'd get it stuck awfully quick.
So far I'm having a blast out here, weather might creep up into the high 30's or 40's so I think I'll be in shorts tomorrow.
you know you're jealous of that lobster roll I had yesterday.
I drove by one of the sea ports here today, it looks JUST like the one in San Pedro.
alright, it might be a TAD bit smaller...

Well, it's been at hell of a trip but it's almost time to head back to Cali.
I didn't see any RX-8's while I was here but I figured they're all hibernating for the winter.
