Hi Jack! VERY well said!! Having lived most of my life in the NY/NJ area your descriptions hit right on the mark!! ...If anyone ever comes up with a "Dictionary for Car-Guys" you should definitely submit your poetic description for 'Winter'......Hmmmmm, what would you call Summer? .....guess it depends on whether you live in Maine or in Palm Springs (where it can get to 115 without trying very hard!) Thanks, Jack!! as Dave said "you are a poet!" Dan Melnik...in Beaumont, CA where it's 96-105 for Late-August thru Mid-September..but its a dry heat! :-).......really! ---- sosmi@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: ============= Jack, you should have been a poet, not a plumber. Winter here in the tropics is an inconvenience, and using the car with the best heater.
