Sorry guys. Been in the mid-70's all January here in the metro Phoenix area. (That's almost 10 degrees warmer than usual - even for here). 110 in July and August is no different than 10 in January and February. I lived in Massachusetts once.
But it's our show and cruise season. Once again, I feel compelled to plug the greatest car spectacle I've ever attended - Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale. I was there last Saturday and I've got to say that it just keeps getting better every year. Everything from Dusenbergs to Ferraris. But, muscle cars dominated the procedings and have taken the world's fancy by a storm. Where once the European exotics generated the most interest, things are shifting to classic Detroit muscle now. Chevelles were extremely well represented this year. Check out the following link and you'll see what I mean. Search on Chevelle: http://barrettjackson.com/auctionresults/default.asp A lot of the reason for the high prices is that deep-pocketed baby boomers from all over the world come to Scottsdale in January. Barrett-Jackson is the premier event and has spawned several others here, too. At Barrett-Jackson, 8000 registered bidders vie for around 800 cars - hence the higher prices. The auction is only part of the spectacle. Hundreds of vendors. Absolutely a must see if you're ever in the neighborhood in January. Come to think of it, it's a good reason to come in January. That and the 75 degree sunny weather. Hell, I got a little sunburn Saturday! Cheers!

I heard a chill factor (wind compounding the cold temps, for you from the tropics...) of -18* yesterday. But we still don't have hardly any snow - I haven't had the tractor running since I took the mower deck off and mounted the blower. I wonder if the 396 would even fire up? It doesn't start real easy in the summer!

While I agree with you that some of the boys in blue in some places, mostly hiway guys and some little town guys, can be a little "tight", I know one great city cop that talks common sense. He's a great member of our Tri-State Chevelle club. In fact we made him our Sgt-At-Arms :) He's on this list so be expecting some comments. As for the winter and cold ....ok ...have to agree a bit there. Pretty hard to do much including work on cars. While my garage is heated, when you do something where you need to get rid of fumes ....letting a 10 degree wind come through kinda shivers your wrenches. But the one thing I will have to disagree with you on is the general statement that Ohio is not the car friendliest place in the world. Ok ..well maybe not THE friendliest ...at least in the sense that you refer to, but with Jegs, Summit, Flaming River, and a whole bunch of other car related businesses I can't even think of being located here, and the great shows in Columbus such as Good Guys, big events at the raceways, being centrally located so we can go to Chevellabration in a few hours, Muscle car nationals in even less, Indy for a while host of car related events, and even Carlisle on the other side..... did I mention Michigan above us? Well I think you get the point :) Hang on man ...spring will be here in a matter of days! January is almost over!

We're in our 2nd or 3rd straight week with temperatures below freezing, and it's not letting up for at least another week. Cops in the summer, salt in the winter-- Ohio is not the car-friendliest place in the world. *sigh* -Dave it's so cold, even my e-mail turned blue! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John W.
