Hmmm, "middle of winter" = temps in the 60s for you NorCal folks... ;-) The
weather was fine all the way back until Pittsburgh when it started to snow
like crazy. The only snow the Cali has seen is driving from Pittsburgh to
Philadelphia that February.

BTW: 18,000+ miles later and I'm still driving on the same brakes and master
cylinder in the Cali! ;-)
