Well, I thought about taking the car out and actually started to, but -30 F this morning and a high today of -20 was just too cold for me to try to start it up. I took a couple pictures anyway.

I took both for a ride, the 67 had the top up since it is *winterized*, top up, heater valve on.
But the Bugeye also went for a drive topless and put in the garage for it's engine rebuild, new interior, and a fresh coat of paint after I de-seam the tail end.
 
I wasn't able to drive yesterday, but I did jump into Barton Spings Pool for some misogi.
