Just so show those in the warmer climate what they're missing.

This is the best fall weekend in years. The trees are at their peak and the temps are 15 degrees over the norm with highs in the upper 60's.

Snow will be here soon so i'm out to enjoy the rest of the day.

Our lows are finally in the 60's Laughing

Have to head up to Sedona, or maybe Flagstaff to get some of that (color!).

Nope... no gas heater, no heater boxes and a Type 181 fan shroud, so no fan to blow the air.

In fact I was out Saturday night and temps were in the upper 50's right around the dew point. I had fog forming on the inside of the front windshield and have no defroster. I had to use a rag to wipe the inside so I could see.

Ah... just like the old days of driving my Dad's 62... back in 69.

Using plastic garbage cans for jack stands may not be the smartest idea...
