Smile V8 Cold Start For Your Morning
Snow and below freezing temperatures coming to you from the Pacific Northwest (USA) this morning. Thought I'd share the sound of our long-lived friend, the Rover V8 from 2001.

Greetings! I used to live in Fishers Landing and work on Swan Island. I miss Portland.

It was about -16 with the wind chill when I started mine up today. She definitely wanted a couple minutes to get up to temperature!

A block heater is a nice addition. Really is great to get in the truck and have heat!

In Portland, I like how the ice gives the homeless a "glassy" patina. Also the whiteness of the snow makes the graffiti "POP" with color. They can't catch me while I sip my bourbon whilst wheelin'
