Default Countdown - 1 week and 6 days

On the 24th my Mustang comes out to play again! I cant wait! Its been tempting to take it out just up and down the road but im not going to give into temptation. Knowing my luck, something will happen and of course itll be in the last week of waiting to get it out officially. I know its going to be a different car with the new exhaust. Ive got to get my brakes on still and ill do it a couple days before it comes out. Ive got my FRPP rear brake braket kit ordered from work and ive got to wait till that comes in. Its on back order but I get it at cost which is great. Full exhaust + full brakes all around will be fun!

1 week and 6 days and counting...

Just the way my insurance is. My insurance is in a 6 month block and that entire term ends on the 25th so truck comes off insurance, and car goes back on.

I usually wait til late april early may to take mine out...Ohio weather is so random. Last april I can remember it snowing and this past january it was near 70 for 2 days. I might have to push that date up this year though to really test out my new cobra

I don't know how you deal with only driving your 'stang during certain months. I couldn't do it. I deployed for 5 months last year and not driving my car for that short time damn near killed me! You've got a lot more self-control than I do.
