Winter Storm Hercules hit the New England area pretty hard Thursday night, but the roads are all clear now. We’ve got a couple of warmer days here in New England (highs in the low 50s today!), and the entire Factory Five team is back to work.  Our tech crew is working on replying to all messages and e-mails from the weekend, while operations is building and packing kits to go out.

We’ve also got a full showroom of cars, so if you’re in the area, come on by for a tour this week!
