So I go over to my Pontiac Solstice (Big Mistake) go to open the door and rip the door handle right off (Nice lets make the handle out of plastic so when it freezes it will snap) go to the passenger side get in start the car let her warm. Well let me tell you I found a car thats worst then my older Corvette on Ice, the car slid to work. Come to work and Typhoon Performance Marine looks like a skate park, maybe instead of selling boats I should put up a sign $5 all day skating arena (I CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING?) I would hate to be further North were they got hit with 12" of snow. As I look in the showroom and see all the brand new boats all I can do is fantasize of boating and warm weather ahead.
That storm was horrific!

Snow Sux! Where is Spring! The only thing green around here this St. Patty's day are the extra singles in my wallet because the weather was to bad to get down to the gogo-rama @ Martels last night.

Tommy: No I almost slid in the garage this morning and would have a car in my showroom 
For Sale 2006 Pontiac Solstice (Less One Door Handle) and no front end actually the front would have been attached to a 2007 38 ZR. Hey at least I could have said For Sale 2006 Pontiac Solstice (Less door Handle) equipped with trailer and (2) 700 Mercs with NXT drives. Tell that one to an insurance company.

Good you didn`t go , There where no girls at Martels . The Go-Go thing was at the Surf Club.
