I uncovered mine for the 8th time and drove it to work. We have set record highs in Utah for several days in a row. My plants are all confused and I had this strange Spring fever feeling come over me. I am walking around the yard thinking about yard projects in the middle of December. I may even take the top off!

I was gonna say, Hey- sounds like where I live. Uh, it is where I live! And only 30 inches up at Snowbird... this sucks!

Sounded familiar to me also. Yup, Utah. I did take the top off. Headers & no heat, but it was no problem. Crazy weather.

I am not aware of a group that meets like the cars and coffee guys in other places. I have a flared '71 with a 3.6 liter that is my daily driver or was until I thought winter was upon us. I don't know what motivation I can offer, but I would be up for a group gathering of local 914s.

Crazy weather for sure, I was outside sweating a couple days ago. I am always down for anything 914 related but it looks like its going to snow this weekend, may need to wait for spring.

I'll welcome the snow but regardless, I'm pulling my engine and trans this weekend. Might even take out the dash too...

Drove to work with the top down at 50 degrees. I hate the cold but I tell ya the cold weather makes me feel alive and awake just for another drive to work! Along with the roar of my car of course.

Yes, if the light is green that is my favorite corner. With three lanes to work with I can take it at about 45 and it makes my day. It is a slightly lighter signal orange, but it could definitely look butterscotch in the morning.
