I decided it has been long enough so I pulled back the cover and set her back on the ground. 1 turn of the key and without touching the gas pedal she sprang to life. I drove her around the block and boy did it feel gooooood! |smile|
Now its starting to rain.
Maybe tomorrow. |cheers|

It's Sunday morning. There is a couple of inches of snow, and the wind is whipping around. Weather man says 3-6 inches by sometime today. Ahh spring time in Ohio.

Wow - good for you! When I drive my car regularly I can't get it to start that quickly!

Still waiting for the weather to cooperate here in NYC. Rainy this weekend and now talk of possible flurries tonight.

I hate the winter....

Hope to be out cruisin' soon!

Had her out today in the sun (since it seems we never see the sun here in CT). Still a little too nippy to take the tops off. |rollysmile| |rollysmile|

Guys, you're breakin' my heart!! |sad|

We've had decent T-top weather here for a month already. Ran "topless" for about 600 miles last weekend. |cool| That extended driving season is one of the few perks of living in a place where the number one pick-up line is, "Hey, baby, nice TOOTH."

Hang in there. Sooner or later the sun shines on every neighborhood. |thumb|

Saturday 4/10 about 2PM. I got the cover off my car today without being in a mud bath. My back yard is drying up. The sun is shining. about 50 degrees. I managed to take a few pictures, and fired it up. I'm a long way from driving it, but that felt great. First step on a long path to cruising. I will take a lot of pictures as I go. |thumb| The rest of the day is honeydo. |ohwell|
