Title: I miss driving my Pagoda!
Post by: 71Beige280SL on January 06, 2013, 16:16:54: For those of us in the midst of winter, I am sure you share my sentiment. We have snow on the ground, salt residue on the roads and snow showers expected this afternoon. There is no way I would take my Pagoda out in the mess. My Pagoda looked a little forlorn this morning, all bundled up under its car cover...so much so, I had to take the cover off, break out the California Duster and then sit in the car and take in the the sight of the instrument panel and the aroma of leather. Man O Man, Spring can't come soon enough!!! :'(

is that kind of hardship you reserved for your Pagoda this winter? :)

No I'm just kidding, no food is allowed in Anthracite.

There are two MB cars in the garage. I put my daily driver in the empty spot. I need Bob to set me up with his luxury man cave...

Took the Old Boy out for a 2 1/2 hour run. Fired right up on the first crank. Engine purred. I think he enjoyed being out as much as I did. Glorious!!!

65 in Ohio, 18 (again) here this morning in California. The world is turned upside down. Sounds like you and your Pagoda had a great day together :) Topdown?

Started with the top up but finished with it down. A little nip in the air requiring a hat and the windows rolled up. Still great. At least you are close to Lake Tahoe. I imagine taking your Pagoda for a spin around the Lake in warmer weather is magnificent. Not sure who has the better situation. I think you!
