We had a bit of rain last night and today it's 8 C. I couldn't resist pulling the car out of the garage. It started on the first crank and had the usual low tire which I filled up while the car warmed up on the driveway.

Unfortunately, without insurance, all I could do was go up and down the driveway to clean the brakes a little then I turned it around and parked it back in the garage. Like that she'll be ready for the new exhaust I got in December.

It's a shame that we'll get one more snow fall though, I'm waiting until the first couple of rainfalls to wash the salt off the road until I call the insurance company for road coverage.

 

I know exactly how you feel there; I got home yesterday afternoon and pulled the car cover off.

Time to do an oil change and put my header on

Getting pretty anxious even though I can't put it on the road for atleast another two weeks, hopefully there's no salt left by then

 

I'm going cruising in the 10AE today.... soon as the snow goes away the car comes out.

 

I'm too fussy .... I wait until the street cleaners have removed the salt from the pavement . Be awhile yet for me

 

Same here, April will bring me that first drive of the season that just feels so good!

 

I think that 2 or 3 good rains will probably do a better job than a street cleaner. At least that's what I hear the Harley guys at work do.

 

bah, I've been driving around.

car is real bad on gas

 

I love how we can't delete posts anymore

 

We might have one more coming at the end of the week. Guess they'll salt one more time.

 

This is exactly the thread I was thinking of starting. I pulled mine out today, 15 degrees in Calgary.

She fired first try. The add coolant light came on (wire had pulled loose). I let it warm up and then went for a half-assed - un insured rip around the neighborhood and loved every second of it.

Mis-shifed most gears, as a result of a long winter in the beater (92 Toyota corolla), but dear god did I have fun.

 

yeah I missed 3rd TWICE this past week.

like wtf. I have never missed gears in this car before.

obviously I need to be driving the car more!

 

it was 11 degrees here in cape breton yesterday. and i really just couldnt resist taking it out for a little drive, took off the moon roof and it felt like heaven! such a great feeling being back in the rex!
