Default Still Driving Season in NJ

Sorry I didn't take any pictures, but had the 68 and 73 out today and based on the forecast, I will be out again tomorrow and Sunday too! Temps were in the mid 50's here at the Jersey Shore and took advantage of a bright sunny, windless day. In fact, - i had the top down on the 68 and didnt get cold at all! I'm really digging this "global warming". I saw a few C3's out there and a C2, so I know there are others out there enjoying spring weather in late December

Nothing like last year! This might be the latest I've ever had mine out.

You know what is going to happen now. The "Jersey Curse" will hit!

Sorry Guys, just fooling with you. I'm formerly from New Jersey myself.

I think someone must have bought a new snow blower. Also the new tires on my day to day, hence no snow!

Global Warming? Yesterday and today in the 50's, it is great, this is why I do not winterize.

happy new year Dave! At the rate of how this winters been so far, we may not need to wait for spring to get the gang together. Maybe Steve will start a Jersey Shore "Polar Bear" chapter of the NJ Vette club and we can cruise right through the spring.

Sounds good to me; I don't put my car away for the winter. If it's nice out, and there's no snow on the ground, I take it out even if it's just for a little while.

Just took my 88 for a quick run. So far the weather has been amazing here. My 71 has been getting a frame on restoration and may finally be done next week....I may actually be able to drive it when I get it back!

Treated north jersey to some big block music yesterday to end 2011 and intend to usher in 2012 today with the same sounds. T-tops off.

I'm tempted to take mine out but once she's put away for the winter she won't see the light of day until April.

Forecast is sunny and 57 today, so you will see me somewhere in Ocean County today - top down!

@MRant - looking forward to your 71 before/after thread!

Happy New Year and Happy Motoring in 2012!
