Default Going through withdrawals

Yeah, I'm going through withdrawals. In Northern Virginia today, it was about 75 degrees and sunny - a beautiful day to do just about anything, especially driving around in a Corvette convertible.

But...my car is at ECS having some work done. To think I wasn't going through withdrawals before...this day didn't help. Maybe I need therapy.

You just need the car back. Just think how nice it will be when you are again behind the wheel.

I hear ya, but it could be worse...I had surgery on Monday (75 degrees after a month straight of crappy weather in Indiana) and have been couped up all week. It's been 75-80 degrees here all week...(above normal)...and sunny too. Finally drove the Vette yesterday (two days ahead of Dr.'s orders) and got stormed on halfway to town. Now it's dirty and I can't wash it for several more days. At least I got a few miles in. Can't wait to get back in the seat again.

Look at the bright side - The longer you don't have your car / The longer you will stay out of trouble

No need for therapy, just your car back. Don't worry, there will be plenty of nice weather days after your car comes home.

Just think how much more you'll enjoy once you've got it back.... absence makes the car go faster (or something like that).

Yeah...the longer I don't drive it will make it seem faster once I finally do again - especially since my other car is a 4 cylinder pickup truck.
