haha yeah I doubt it because all the snow covered roads have water on top which is very icy.

But I'm enjoying it.

kyleblix · 02-02-2007, 02:31 PM

drove to work today w/ all 4 windows down a few inches!! I've missed that breeze.

Island Style · 02-02-2007, 02:34 PM

I fear it is the calm before the storm...my brother called to tell me how warm it was there...wow...messy though.

Enjoy the warmth!

Minimaul · 02-02-2007, 02:38 PM

It'll dump again, just wait.

AKLGT · 02-02-2007, 08:02 PM

well, i can say that i miss that quick spooling on the low end that i used to have. the car doesn't pull like it did in 1-2.

but then once i get into 3rd, it's like it becomes a totally different vehicle and then i look down and i'm at 80! so gotta slow down.... can't wait til i get this thing tuned for it all... i know i'm giving up quite a bit of power, especially the low end.

Getagrip · 02-03-2007, 03:19 AM

Putting on my 18's is the furthest thing from my mind when it gets warm like this. What I am attentive to is the development of car swallowing pot holes. Especially the ones hidden by those huge puddles.

Oh man, don't even get me started on arctic and midtown. That place is the best place to start digging to china.

ridestreet84 · 02-03-2007, 03:33 AM

yeah took out the exploder and couldnt believe road condition well i guess its true about the seasons up here winter than road construction

EvoChArGeR · 02-03-2007, 03:37 AM

Even though its melting and may dry up some it will dump when you least expect it! It is kid of exciting with more sun shine but we still have a couple of months left of this ****.

PetRex · 02-03-2007, 03:37 AM

yeah watch out for the land mines....AAAWWW

Nix_Evo · 02-03-2007, 03:38 AM

nah me... i love it when my balls get jammed into the floorboards from dropping down into a pothole. i LOVE the thought of "oh god i hope my suspension is ok" great feelings... really

ScoobyTec · 02-03-2007, 05:33 AM

and this is why i drive a truck as a daily diver. pot holes eh i hunt for em when no one is around i like to make tsunamis out of pot holes

Jaylyons1 · 02-03-2007, 09:20 AM

actually drove the miata to work with the top down... wif's idea...

Wes_FSTGDB · 02-03-2007, 01:23 PM

Well it's cold again, 29 degrees. This time yesterday it was 38 degrees. Today and for the rest of the week lows are in the mid teens to mid 20's. High's around 30.

I enjoyed it while it lasted though. Anyone notice the increase in day light?

-Wes

Mavrik · 02-03-2007, 01:28 PM

Yup sure is brighter longer now and about time too.

Oh it was so warm Jake the bear (some captive bear here in anchorage) woke up.

I avoid pot holes... not good for my car.

Firestrike · 02-03-2007, 01:33 PM

The daylight renders my HID's useless.

Although, the dry ground gives me a chance to see what my suspension is made of, and so far, it is made of the soft stuff found in marshmallows.
So far, the strut tower braces have made a good improvment. This will be my first summer with my car.

Mavrik · 02-03-2007, 01:54 PM

There is so much more you can do to that car thought to make it even better. I hope you plan on autocrossing this summer

Firestrike · 02-03-2007, 03:51 PM

I am doing everything I can to make it better, but not overdoing yet not lacking.

Mavrik · 02-03-2007, 04:24 PM

the trick is to autocross before throwing a whole bunch of stuff at the car so you can understand how the car handles and if anything you add to it actually helps.

Firestrike · 02-03-2007, 04:30 PM

I don't need autocross to tell me that my car body rolls too much. It simply rolls too much for me. My Nissan had less body roll. So, remove old springs and install me coils and sways and all set.
