Default Finally

Man finally we got some good weather for driving

I have been driving my WS6 for the last week or so everyday, my car was always my DD until the last year or so, but this year it sat for about 6 months and i didnt drive it, and man id i miss it, and now that i got it back on the road its such a great thing to drive a car that handles, has power, better stereo etc all the things i HATE about my beater car, dont get me wrong the beater car has done me well and owes me nothing and really helps out with these crazy gas prices. But now i truly know how alot of you feel when you take your car out for the weekend cruise cus i got a smile when i drive mine

It's mid 70's and sunny... I went home at lunch to get mine. It's way too nice to be driving the truck.

Great to hear, Chef. Your bumper came out well, I take it? I remember talking with you at Jay's about it, but I couldn't remember what stage it was at.

Anyways, I, too, just got my car running last night and will be out cruising ALL NIGHT tonight and this weekend. The new clutch and trans had mine out of commission for a while now, not to mention last night was the first time I drove it since I bought the car that everything was working how it's supposed to (for the most part).

Drive now because it looks like rains coming for a lot of next week!

I hear ya chef, it's days like today I wish I still had a street car to play with.




Well, maybe not.


On another subject, I had an idea.... see if you can get yoru electrician to come up this weekend and give me a quote before I run that damn extension cord over with the lawn mower, and while you're here we can put that seat back in and take care of that rattle

my TA is my DD for now, need to replace my 19 yr old clutch from my 1989 Toyota Celica, and I am going to give her a really nice wash, wax it and drive it with my T-Tops off, I love them T-Tops, its always a head turner when you go by people
