After a couple months of winter weather, a break was welcome.

A great excuse to exercise the 1937 Ford.

Hi Tony, I'm dying to drive my V8's. The weather is nice but I live in a rural area and the frost is coming out of the ground. Roads are precarious. However, by Saturday I'm driving one or checking myself into rehab. Driving would be cheaper.

Have fun!
 
Went out in the garage and started the 46, also the 48. Roads here are wet and salt covered. We are blessed with a record crop of "potholes" even by Pennsylvania standards.
 
What's the big issue???......We can drive our V8's pretty much "Daily" here in Florida!!!! As a matter of fact, was working in my shop this weekend in shorts and a tee shirt.

Robert, last winter here in Southern Illinois, I drove a V8 almost weekly. This year it has been one of the worst winters I can remember in my 44 years. It has rained or snowed at least once a week since November. It is so wet here, that if it rains .200 inches, water is standing in my yard.

I live in the Chicago area; I drive year round, weather permitting.

Christmas Day a few years back.

Hi took my 31 "cabriolet" to the gas station two days in a row ( they serve Coffee ),
Great to see how many older cars were out with me........ great !!
 
Not a V8 but I did drive my 1955 Anglia to a doctor's appointment today. It was nice and sunny so why not?
 
I won’t be driving an old Ford anytime soon…..we’ve had more snow this year than the last ten I think…..when it does warm up, I got a half mile of muddy road before I get to the wet salty tar road…..Oh well….Spring will come, it always does……Mark
 
I don’t think spring will be here until mid April, I’ve got 4 inches of ice in my driveway and the roads are white with salt. Even though it will be above freezing today more snow is forecasted later in the week.

Yep, I am thinking mid April, too. After 2 mild winters (never had to use my snow blower once) we are back to normal w/a real NY winter here. I keep busy in my shop working on a '56.
 
we had some rain late last night and i'm thinking of takin out the '37 today. "you say it's yer birtday it's my birtday too yeah" for real. 74 yr old "I like to kick, stretch,kick" not really. save that physical stuff for crawlin under the old girl. she's still older than me. ;) Tom.
 
I am waiting for the winter weather to be over so I can finish up the work on my 39 truck and get it on the road. Next month it will be 3 years since I started this project. So I did not actually drive it but I did sit in it and imagine how it will be
 
I drove my 53 Monterey to the paint store to get some touch up paint mixed. 20 miles RT.

I got both the ‘37 and Mach 1 out today. I also installed the wiper motor on the ‘37 convertible sedan which is nearing its date at the upholstery shop. I even changed the oil in my 2023 pickup. I love the spring like weather….finally.

Broke out the deuce pickup yesterday, first time since Christmas. Put on a couple 100 in 2 days. I'll drive it every day, everywhere until the salt trucks make another pass.
