Default I LOVE MY CAR!!

I put it away for winter too early it seems and I took it out last week again.

I just came back from one of these bombing sessions that is happening way too often and I just drove the paint off this thing. Gotta love a 22 year old car that just keeps on giving.

My fiancee lives a good 15 miles away and most of it is highway/semi-highway. It is usually deserted at night and I ALWAYS get a chance to 'stretch its legs'. :D:D

Tonight was no different. Let me tell you, anybody who still has their cats and doesn't have to, TAKE THEM OFF.:D The sweet sound of straight true duals and Led Zeppelin is just intoxicating.

I love this car - can't wait for the big block. :yesnod: :yesnod:

Just found out that in PA they scrapped the emissions test for cars prior to 1996 :cool:
This winter, no cat and straight duals :yesnod:
Should make the CE sound great!

I know what you mean! I took mine to a deserted road and did my first burnout (really cool) and was practicing with my takeoff from a standstill. She really was thirsty last night, almost a half a tank for an hour and a half of fun. She'll really drink the gas when I make her exercise. But that's expected; I love my car too!! :cheers: :seeya
