I am continually amazed at the wonderment, as well as down right disbelief, when my car is on display at any given local car show, that people seem to find it difficult believing my SHO is truly a daily driver for me.
Well, at least for now.
I must admit, this car is a blast to drive in the snow. Yet alone on the track, or in any other given environment.
So here in Chi-Town, particularly in the West, and Southwest suburbs.....
We are literally on 18hrs of nonstop snow.
In the general Joliet area where I currently call home, we have had approximately 12" of the white stuff thus far. We are projected to receive an additional 6"-8" throughout today.
That will bring the grand total in my area since Friday, to a whopping range of 18"-20" of snow total.
After the storm pulls out, we are slated to receive the coldest temperatures ever recorded in our history.
Literal temperatures are slated to be between -15 to -18 tonight, with a whopping high temp tomorrow of -13.
Monday night will see an overnight low of -17 to -19.
Throughout this extreme cold snap, winds are supposed to be howling at a clip of 30-40MPH.
This will place the projected wind chills in the -40 to -50 range.
Whew! Dear God.
Anyhow, just finished up yet another long shift, and had to come home and unearth not only my entire driveway, but also the HUGE mountain of snow left at the end of my driveway, compliments of the local public works guys plowing.
No complaints at the above, just kind of spelling it out like it is.....
Needless to say, I quickly realized I'm not quite the spring chicken that I still somehow think I am, as I slipped and fell while shoveling, and my body is reminding me now, that as usual, I over did it.
Anyhow, here's a couple of shots of my SHO parked in the driveway.
At least the 1/2 I got to, before finally parking it in the garage and turning on the heater to melt off all that dastardly snow Mother Nature plastered all over her......
So just in case there was any ever doubt, let the above be definitive proof there of, that yes indeed, my SHO is a daily driven, reliable beast, even to this day.
So much fun driving this car, I can't even begin to convey my continued enjoyment from having purchased this vehicle.
Big kudos to Ford Motor Co. and all of the devoted men and women who helped create it.
Awesome stuff there maynard!
