Default it's alive again

Put the new plates on the 98 ( OH WOW ) and fired her up from the winter sleep...had not started it since october 31. Fired right up . The new PLX reads ok, the new harness and camera mount looks killer. have the ECS alky kit to install and get a re-tune and possbily a trans brace from DTE.
I covered her back up after a good warm up, awaiting a nice warm dry day to cruise...at least I know all is functioning well.

Good to know that the car starts right up. I finally got mine out for about an hour this past Saturday - first time since around the first of November. This weekend is my first car show - supposed to be sunny and 65. Can't wait.

Yep - we're all awakening! Had mine out Saturday - first time in 4 months.
That's one thing the "southern brothers" miss out on - that re-discovering what a great machine it is that we get to drive!
