Default Should I or shouldn't I???

Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the mid-50's here in Michigan. Now for a lot of you that's still freegin' cold, but here it feels like Spring.
Should I get her out of storage for one nice day? Tuesday's forecast?? Snow with a high of 27, and a winter storm moving my way.
But just one nice trip around town......I don't know.
Plus, the playoffs are tomorrow, so that shoots the entire afternoon.
Get her out of storage for a morning jaunt? Only to get depressed when I put her back in??
Oh the decisions in life......It's just not fair!!!! :crazy:

It was fifty here in Wisconsin today. Couldn't resist. Had to take her for a ride.
Even took the tops off. It was GREAT! :D

I say take her out for some excersize, she`ll enjoy it and so will you. I live in NY and today was sunny and dry and I couldn`t resist. It felt good to slide behind the wheel and go for a little drive. Now the wait for spring won`t be as long as it was before.

If you've got decent conditions, go for it ! It'll be good for the car and it'll be good for you.

TAKE IT OUT!!!!!

I haven't had the '75 out in awhile due to other things going on but this morning it was in the '50s here also and sunny. I thought "What the Heck, put the top down and go for a ride". :cool:

I'm glad I did...started the whole day off great!! :lol:
