^^^ What he said. I hate driving my Cars until ALL of the salt is gone.

But this warmer weather is always welcome. It felt like it was 80 and sunny compared to the ****ty weather we have been having lately.

I couldn't bring myself to drive it with the salt out, but I did fire it up for a bit.

WOW!!! I miss Frisches Big Boy's.
I used to go there with my dad when I was a kid. Loved It!

I worked in the garage today, Think the Z might actually be running tomorrow.

Sedanman, Hey bro I need to get the Z aligned next week. What day would be best? I'm also sending my nephew up there Saturday... b/c he needs an alignment on his 97 Grand Am. My sister will need 1 on her 94 Z next week as well. So, I'll be sending 3 total your way brother. LMK when is best for you!
I really appreciate it man!

James

havent really seen much of a scene down here, saw about 10 f-bodies together on the interstate during the summer but they were going the other way so could stop and talk to them... so far i haven't found a local cruise in spot like the Suds up there, nor have i found any thing like 31 on fri. or sat. night in the summer. but im always lookin.

You must not have been looking very hard IMO we have a huge f-body following in the Indy area. We are up and down and all around the 465/Harding/East street/31 area on a Fri/Sat night. Cruise towards downtown one night and you will see an O'riely's on the right full of cars that is where you want to be

I don't know what you're really looking to do, cruise? sight see? but anybody that likes cars and racing I would suggest the Indianapolis Motor Speedway museum. Besides that March may be a little early for the downtown cruising to begin

LooseMoose, you pretty much covered it :-) I may also drop by a truck salvage yard in Spencer to see if there's any parts I can dig up.

I took the fox for a few trips around the area, felt really good. Laid rubber for about 50 yards during the 2-3 shift in boost.

I remember Ben (RIP) was planning to move to Houston Texas for the high quality of power and the street scene.

I was the 1 who asked, Well hopefully 1 day you make it back here. Sucks there isnt much of a street scene where you are now.
I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't hang out with all the Gearheads every weekend.
