So this is how it ends? It's over? You don't come around anymore. We don't go for long rides together and laugh away the hours with our friends like we used to. I feel that separation, you have caused me to grow cold......   Oh, yada, yada, yada. Tell your car to lighten up. The roads have been covered with snow for several days now. It happens this time every year in Western PA.

If you and your car have the Auto Blues maybe this will help. This is the season wrap up for 2013. For me it has been a great season. I went to many cruises, races and events, snapped thousands of shots, and widened my circle of friends. Maybe you will feel better, as I often do, by browsing through some of the pictures from the last several months. If you are a cruiser, dragster, or car enthusiast, the winter months here may send you into withdrawal. For what it's worth, take a look at the photos here and it may help smooth a rough edge or two. Give it a try, if it doesn't help, go out and tinker in the garage until you get too cold.

I would be remiss if I didn't say thank you to all yinz that stopped by to say hello or made purchases at the events this year. Thanks also for following my blog. A special thanks to all the folks that showed their hospitality at PRP and Flashlight Drags, Hersch/TalkHotRods.com, Sonic, Quaker Steak and Lube as well as the other cruise locations that were accommodating. A special thanks to Jim Senkewitz and his PID crew for allowing me to tag along at their great events again.

Be careful out there, watch out for black ice and reindeer.
