This weather is insane. After 60+ years with the lions share living in various locations in Florida I have never, ever seen pollen in mid January. In my current location we normally have several nights of freezing temps by this time in January but so far this season the temp has not dropped below 40 F. Looks like this could be the third year in a row without at least one good freeze. When I say freezing temps I mean mid to high 20's. We need a couple of good freezing nights here in Florida to help control the insect population as well as sweetening the citrus and strawberry crops. The last couple of days have been air conditioning weather.

Oh, rub it in, why don't you? Pour some salt into our open, frozen wounds!

Oh gosh, I HATE pollen. We get it here, too, in the spring, and it just gets all over our cars.

That's rather scary about the lack of freeze. More bugs could spell disaster for produce.

I didn't take any pictures. There are a couple threads on this forum with pictures already involving the install. And as for the finished look.... They are OEM therefore they look like stock.

My car is covered in winter road salt and mud right now anyways so not very picture worthy ;-)

Okay, okay...but we ain't gonna let you off that easy on the speaker install, unless you somehow manage to get winter road salt and mud on them, too!

It's supposed to snow tonight. 2-4 inches! WOOOOOHOOOO! I almost want to stay up until the roads get messy so I can hit a parking lot and practice my winter driving, even though I'll likely never need it.

It's been kinda gross here for the last few days. Raining and c c c cold! Poor Blanca!

I have never thought of a traffic signal as beautiful, but that is! Great job!

Andrew, "Kudo's to you!" Outstanding restoration. Simply outstanding. Is this your crowning achievement, or do you have your eye on another future restoration?
