Damn you guys got patience lol

There was one time i couldnt drive it (due to bad weather) for about 3 weeks and it drove my crazy.

Right now its been 9 days because we got hit with a small snow/ice storm and im going nuts. lol

Another reason why FD owners need fun daily drivers lol

About 2 months since I've driven mine. I've been dealing with assorted fuel and boost leaks (!) and now I'm attempting to install a set of turbos.

It fires right up, though.

About six weeks.

I think we can now safely conclude that this poll has the least useful category choices ever.

Boy this thread is depressing. lol

Almost ironic that this thread, the poularity thread, and the you and your FD in a decade thread are made so close together.

Insecure people here?? lol

I know winter was proven to be a depressing time for people but jeez, spring is almost here lol
