Default Spring has sprung...

Finally had a nice week here, and I got my '82 out a bit.
Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday wasn't bad; took it out for a short putt (60 miles?) Wednesday, much to the g/f's surprise.
Thursday was cold & rainy, but today was nice, so I took my g/f for dinner and a quick ride this evening.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the same, maybe even better, so I assume we'll take her out again!!!
Anybody else finally getting their C3s out???

I'm out for the summer. I run my car daily and my winter beater is out of the road. It' so much fun to step on it after the long hibernation. I really like my new 3.54 rear...poor tires. :D

Enjoy! :steering:

Ive had mine out for the last 3-4 weeks. Temps up here have been above average and early rains have washed the roads a good while ago. This weekend it has cooled down though.

I took my 79 to work yesterday. some dimwit in a pickup truck had an empty box blow out of the bed. the box bounced of the BMW in the next lane then got sucked under my left front, scratching the front spoiler! :mad
