Looks good. I had mine out Last Sat. I'm going to pick it up again tomorrow for a nice little cruise. I might even get into boost this time!

I've been wanting to pull the winter wheels and snow tires off for a week or two now.

But knowing how all things automotive work, if I put the 17s and summer tires on, wash and polish up the car, and get it all ready...it'll snow.

I just took the cover off my car yesterday. Fired right up after 4 or 5 months of sitting. Took it for a 2 mile ride, parked it in the garage. Ready for a tune-up and catback.

Waxed it, cleaned the windows, detailer sprayed it all yesterday. Looks amazing. All i got left to clean is the wheels.
