Default Last time out before.....

Was a nice day in NJ today. 61 degrees. Sunny. Took her out for a last ride before she goes in for fiberglass work and repaint next week.

The whole car looks great in you pictures now. I'm thinking I will need something like the
wood accents your interior has to break up an all black interior. Is that an aftermarket product? Just 5 months till spring here.

I had the garage door open today! Does that count. Not very driveable but if it was I would be driving.

Thanks for the link. Is yours the Honey Burl? Are the door panels matching, didn't see them offered for 77. Jim

I also took mine out today. It was 75 degrees. Oh wait, this is Florida. Honestly guys, I'm glad everyone in the north is getting some extra driving time this year. I personally don't see how everyone can stand not having their favorite rides for months at a time. I hope the rest of the winter goes just as well for you.

@Dave - repainting the same color? I wish I was out driving my C3 today too, but spent 8 hours driving my son back to PSU. Lots of salt and sand on the local roads where I live because of the snow the other day, so I probably couldn't drive today anyway

Yes, repainting same color, but with a motion stripe in ivory pearl. This is after it gets the front and rear bumpers seamed in and luggage rack removed and holes filled. Im also getting door gaps tightened up.

It does suck but it gives us time to put the money pit up on jack stands and not feel rushed for losing ride time.
