Default Spring Fever

It's that time of year again... I'm driving around in my winter vehicle dreaming that im lower to the ground with better acceleration and handling. We have had warm weather for several weeks so the snow is almost gone... Now all I have to do is wait for a decent rain to clean off all of the salt and the street sweepers to get all of the wonderful sand off of the roads. All while watching others take out their car and drive it around while i keep telling myself not yet... just a few more weeks.

And pray we don't have snow in march that wrecks everything.

I agree with you guys man, I cant wait for warmer weather to get here. mid 30's for the past month at the highest. The temps are starting to creep up though, which is a good sign.

I feel ya drag I live in WNY over by Buffalo and Rochester and it has been perfectly sunning and enjoyably in the mid-40's for the past few days. Just waiting for a solid rain too! But a few people keep telling me that we're still in for one more snow storm of the season, who knows.

My car literally hasn't moved since January, I've started it twice. I'm really aching to drive it.

My dad called me and told me he had my car out today, he had to move stuff around in our shed... he made sure to mention he did a burnout in the driveway with it. I swear he does it to torment me

It's been a rough winter for us in the southeast. I posted in Nov." it's cold here", and it never really let up. Sunday and Monday was in the 60's and my old bones started to thaw out some. Got my Stang on a start for getting her cleaned up. And work in the yard too.. Thunderstorms coming later this week, Oh' Yeaaah... spring is coming..

Still need a about 2 more weeks of 60's and hopefully some 70's W/ weekends off work.. so I can do some real car shining..

We've already had two events, but I haven't been able to make it to any. I don't do much autoX anymore but we got a big group of newbs that I want to lay the smack down on.

Its been around 56-60 here the past few days. Its the warmest days we've seen in months so everyone is out washing their cars and ridng with the windows down. I just started driving again two days ago (due to an injury) so it feels good to cruise up and down the roads again in semi-decent weather.
