Yesterday was supposed to be the last dry day here for awhile and no roads have been salted, so I decided to drive the 308 to church, to the office and generally just around for a good workout. Turned out to be 16 degrees when I went out, but decided to try it anyway. It took a few extra pumps to start it with the choke not hooked up and after a short time of feathering the throttle it soon was running well on it's own. After the fluid all got flowing properly we set out for a wonderful full day of motoring. The best thing was how the motor felt when it was gluping down deep breaths of 30 degree air. It felt like 2 extra cylinders today! Having the tire compound always in the back of my mind kept me from getting too agressive in the twisties, but oh how magnificant was the sound and power running up and down thru the shifter gate. It tends to get more attention on the road and at gas stations in December than August also. 
I do miss summer already, but if I could bottle this air for use next year I would be a happy camper. Advice: If you have a chance to sneak out for a winter blast, go for it. Excellent therapy for sure!
