I had trouble with the garlands
I am really experiencing the Maine winter cold now, BRRR it's ridiculous! My car sits thirty feet outside my front door, and when I walked out this morning I thought I wasn't going to make it. The ground was covered in ice so that I had to walk slow, and the wind came through my clothes and I tightened up into a ball and my eyes froze shut and my face was stuck in a grimmace and I tried to cry out but the howling winds drowned my cries away.
At work they said it was seven degrees, but with the wind chill I think it was more like minus ninety seven. I said, "hey it's pretty cold" and they said "man you haven't seen it yet, get ready."
There's no light pollution here, I can see the stars at night. I never knew the constellations or the names of the stars until now.(I know some of them.) Beautiful.

You have to invest in remote start. That way the car is warm and cozy when you get in.

That's fancy Passat stuff, we don't do that with Mustangs. We do what's called "suck it up." We brace ourselves, and we go outside and start the car, then run inside while it warms up.
I hope you are seeing these comments now, I'm not sure what is going on. Are you using a new blackberry? I think it doesn't like new posts.
Anyway, if you see this, I hope you are having a great time at your friend's concert tonight. You probably look stunning in your dress, I will just have to imagine.

Ha-ha. I do not have remote start on my fancy car. I know one is available for my Xterra and I was thinking about putting it in because the car takes forever to warm up. Of course, the truck is kinda old and the heat doesn't function greatly for the first 40 minutes or so...which means I freeze.
You should look into it. The bottom one might work for you: http://www.fordgenuineaccessory.com/Ford/Mustang.Remote_Start_Systems.4.htm

I don't know if they work on manual transmissions, I like to leave my car in gear when it's parked so it doesn't go flying down the hill when it snows. Also how dare you suggest I have a shoddy used 2006 when I have a 2008, get it right.
I have an idea for when you drive the Xterra, just bring me along and I will do everything I can to warm you up. I can think of a few things.
ps I am doing laundry now and it's not even Sunday, I am breaking the rotation.

That's terrible! Didn't the navy teach you that everything has to be on schedule? You're rebelling. Not sure if that's good.
On the link, on the bottom was mustang 2002-2007. Is yours an 07 or 08.
I don't think it works on manual. It is your fault for wanting to drive properly and trying to be a Euro male. Hmph

I am a crazy laundry rebel. Who knows, I might use the whole box of fabric softener if I feel like it or I might stand there nude next to the machines while I wait.
My car is 08, when I checked the page the bottom one was 06 that's why I got an attitude. I don't want to be a Euro male I just want to attract a Euro female. It's not working.

I think you should definitely stand nude while doing laundry! If anyone says anything just explain that your clothes are in the wash. Oh and take pictures. (Of yourself not the laundry)

I think I would be molested or arrested, depends who saw me first. If you want pictures, darling, come see for yourself. I do not object.
