Re: [Chevelle-List] winter sucks
Title: Message Hey Steve, Always good to hear from a fellow officer & car nut! Thanks for the offer but I'm 48 years old with 20 years in as an Ohio cop, 15 with the same agency. I am an instructor, a patrol officer, a part-time supervisor,a field training officer & a former swat member. I am getting promoted next week to Sgt. I only have 5 1/2 years until I'm eligible for retirement so I don't think I'll be going anywhere else. I currently own a 1968 Malibu with a 350 4 speed. It was originally a 327 L79 car. I hope to build another 327 for it someday. I've owned a bunch of musclecars over the years including two other chevelles, Mopars & even a couple of Fords. You can see me & my car at http://www.cardomain.com/id/cinci68 Tell me about yourself & your car. You hang in there & stay safe, Don TSC-005 - Original Message - From: Stephen Lentz To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 10:55 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-List] winter sucks Don, Hey, I'm a recruiter for Mesa PD.

I'm in the Cleveland area. I guess I
just have SoCal envy.. :-) (or any other part of the country where you
can drive classics all year round).
I understand where you're coming from Dave. Ohio
winter's suck! It's hard not to envy those that live in Ca. or Fl. when
you're shivering in your boots while you stand in snow & gaze at your
beloved Chevelle under the car cover.
Yeah, I guess you make a good point about all the stuff that is in
Ohio. I do happen to enjoy driving to Summit (45 mins) when I'm buying
new parts. Carlisle is an annual tradition for a group of us. I
think Chevellabration would be an 8 hour drive for me.
Steve made some great points too. Aside from the weather, Ohio is
really pretty "car friendly". There are lots of car related things to do
& organizations around here. We're also pretty centrally located for a
lot of car stuff going on in the Eastern or Midwestern part of the
country.
It's just too cold! Br... My thermometer at 6:30pm reads 10
degrees. My garage is both un-insulated and un-heated. Actually,
last night it was so cold that my fluorescent lights wouldn't turn on out
there.
I
agree! Cold Sucks! I have to work out in it all night! Try
standing in the middle of the highway trying to clear up an auto accident
when it's 10 degrees with a howling wind & blinding snow & every
other driver is irrate & wants to run you over!
As
for the cops, there's good ones to be found everywhere -- except in my
rearview.
HaHa! I understand. Yeah, there are good cops & bad cops just
like there are good & bad mechanics, plumbers, etc. But really, what we
usually get upset about is when they "catch us" when we're doing something
we know we really shouldn't be doing. It is natural to bad mouth the cop
because he wrote us a ticket "just because we laid rubber for 100
feet...sideways" He was just doing his job. We all know it, we just
don't want to admit it. Human nature.
Be
careful out there,

Dave,
where are you at in Ohio?
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!

Re: [Chevelle-List] winter sucks
Title: Message I feel real sorry for you warm weather folks out there...we had a high of 10* again today, and it's supposed to continue like this all week. 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?
