Classic cars in cold weather states...is it worth it?

cosgig said

Maybe it's just me, but I would love to drive my cars anytime of the year, and I don't think I would ever get bored with that. Also, doing projects in the winter may be nice, but I sure would like to do projects in the summer also. Thats why I have 5 different cars...all running and driving, so I never get bored with one. In fact, I get a loss of motivation when the sun goes down at 5:00pm in the winter, and even though I have a nice heated garage, it's still tough to go out after work and dinner to start in on a project. Now, in the summer when it doesn't get dark until 10:00pm, I have much more motivation to go out after dinner and get things done!! I also love an evening drive with the family in the convertible, and would do that year round if not for the cold!!

Not complaining though, but I'd love to drive my cars anytime I want!! Geof

A former co-worker in AZ bought his first hot road since living there. All I heard when he was looking for it was how it was going to get driven to work several times a week no matter what. His dd, a pickemup with a/c broke and the car was forced into a dd status.....the next time I seen the car at work after the truck was fixed was after the temps dropped out of triple digits. No a/c, headers, black seats, minimal insulation etc gets old real quick in triple digits. I rode a bike for the first six years in AZ, once I got a vehicle with a/c I did not ride for several years. Keep in mind that often times in the Phoenix area the temp is still in the triple digits at mid night. Several folks I still talk to down there are wanting to get out, just because of the heat. The grass (heat) is always greener on the other side........until you get there......
