Yea and it even takes more heat to warm the Minnesotan-Ice so many locals have :lol: Need to treat the lawn with winterizer, when done using the riding lawn mower to collect fall leaves and some grass growth need to drain and change the oil and treat the gas.  Dig out the snow removal gear and winter cloths, drive some stakes into the sides of the driveway to mark where the snow plow is to say off :lol: .  Move the TSTE outside as its my winter car but it now has an engine block heater and remote start so not too bad.  Move the one TGP to the neighbors since it won't get any winter driving, then the other TGP into the garage for a diet of aluminum 8) .  Xmas lights as I don't wait till its winter freezing cold out to get in the spirit so I can freeze my fingers working with stiff-ass xmas light wires :evil: Put snow tires on the 2 cars we drive in the winter, clean and treat the summer tires so they are ready for next spring, check the radiator fluid in the cars to make sure as I don't like surprises.  Cut off all the dead flowers the wife makes me plant and cover the others till next year, also chicken wire around the plants that at least did not die from small animals eating off their bark last winter :evil:.   Few more things I will remember soon as the cold hits my face, and that will be soon enough, winters are too long here in MN.

Freezing here.......morning ritual of scrapping the windows on the car.....

Yea we had frost last night, but you be up north even more so you beat us there :lol: .  I use Rain-X on the side-view mirrors, side and rear windows, really keeps the frost and ice and shit from sticking as much, though I never use it on the front windshield, when the wippers are on it smears and is not clear to have Rain-X on the front.

Custom, sweeet 8)  Ya know its too bad you got bothered by a few spats that Kenny and I had :hockey: left over from some unfortunate past, but its really nothing new, people getting on each other in forums happens all the time, at least it was not your topic that was mess with  :lol: (a PM to the originator to that topic said he was fine, and he still got what he needed :) ), I still have all those spare Trofeo parts and if you don't want them let me know so I can sell them off?

Back a few months ago on the W-Body side I thought it was you that stepped in to complain, if not then well, good :) Still got the parts and will not sell them till you are ready, or don't want them.

I live in northeastern Georgia, we still have 80*+ temps here, gets down into the high 60's at night currently(feels great too, my TGP is likes the cooler nights :wink: )

Georgia? nice 8) ! that is where I got my first replacement black TGP with 65k miles, no rust at all and no paint fade or dried up interior as it got lots of garage use :lol: .  I scored it cheap as the dealer was ready to hand it to me once I told him the stalling was the $1,550 crossover pipe, and the ABS Light was a $3,200 ABS unit, and the false Gauge Indicator lights was a $375 repair, he was like "then you know these cars and should take it off my hands?, so ragged down the price and scored good 8) .  I had a new black 1990 TGP back in well 1990, then sold it in 1994 to get a truck (Typhoon actually, for me, as a winter truck for the wife, was the idea :lol: ).  Jonesing big time not having a TGP, and after all I had learned on that new TGP from 1990 till 1994 and those I hooked up with through local spottings and hang-outs, and from magazine articles I wrote about them, then with the Internet hooking me up with a ton of TGP owners, had all these TGP owners bitchen about the crossover pipe and wanting more performance, so I just had to get another TGP to help them out, and I suppose a good excuse to get a TGP back in the garage :wink: .  

So Georgia has a warm spot in; my heart :D , it got me back into the TGP scene and its been crazy busy fun ever since, never be without one again.  Though you just got to sample the extra 100 hp the car feels like it has when its 20 degrees out side, or less :lol:
