Default Who misses driving their car?

I'll tell ya what, I hate Ohio, I havent driven my car in a few months. I really need to go out and start the damn thing. Im moving the first week of Feb. and hope there is no snow storm or my car will be stuck in the garage. Its pretty bad whaen you drive a Grand Am GT and think "hey thats pretty quick" My nephew borrowed my P/U to move some stuff and left me his car. Come on spring! I cant wait much longer!

Im tempted myself it rained pretty good here, Ohio uses so much salt it will be the end of April before its washed away.The only things that can rust are the rear quarters and the underbody. But dont want to take any chances.

Yeah, I definitely miss my car. You know you haven't driven your FBody for a long time when you love getting behind the wheel of your girlfriend's '99 Cougar V6 5-speed because it feels "quick and fun to drive".

God I can't wait for April.

I can't wait to drive mine! My cars been having surgery since late September. Still dealing with this whole engine swap. It's been over 4 and a half months since I've driven it. I'm going to have to say **** the salt. It's not like a ferrari or an expensive car. The only thing I would worry about are the headers (which are coated)..so when I get a chance to drive this thing in decent weather, I'm going to....as long as the roads are dry.

My car was already driven in a few winters before..so the undercarrage isn't exactly in show quality.

I miss driving my '02 like all heck! Been in storage since early November and I'll be pulling it out the end of March. But my beater is a fairly nice '95 Z28.

Hang in there fellas, spring will be here soon enough...

Well, I finally took her out today, actually a nice day out (Detroit). Over the winter I replaced my TD's with a hooker catback cause of clearance issues. Well, now the f'in y-pipe bangs and causes missfires and it's still raspy. Took the hooker off and put the TD's back on and now I'm sick. What a day!

Try some poly motor mounts.

Yah I miss driving around. I have two sets of rims, and one set will have a set of MT 275-60-15 DR's for just cruising around.

I'm getting mine back out in mid-March so I can take it to a Dyno-Day type thing and save some money. But that's just my excuse, I'll go nuts if I wait longer. I went home to Indianapolis this weekend, it was 60 out on saturday, that definetely made me want to get it out.

Can't wait until I get it back out! I had to move back into my house a couple weeks ago, and that was the last time it got some fresh air... going down the street backwards, on the back of a flatbed :-( I can't wait....neither can my fiancee

I pulled mine out of the grauge and the check engine light started flashing. Got my dad's snapon scanner, but he only has updates through '01. Couldn't get any codes, but I could check readings on sensors. Ended up changing upstream on bank 2. $80 later it runs better. I think the other one is going too. It was nice to get it out.
