Well, I got the car first, then joined the forum. I think I have it figured out. Car addict in the summer, forum addict in the winter. Yeah, that's it!

Tough call...
Based on time, the forum. Based on money, the car. Based on comraderie, the forum. Based on shear thrill, the car. Who cares. Its all good.

Default Winter driving.

I will sneak my 06 out on a winter day if the roads are dry, no melting of any kind and I feel like kicking some ***. Fortunately I live in a rural area with good, flat roads and friendly neighbors so I can usually wring her out and no one complains.....although I am careful and courteous. After all I must look these people in the eye during the week and on Sunday mornings!

Default Uhhhhhh.

Wait, let me get this straight....You are lacking in sex...You must be married....As for getting it out, up here in the north, they use way too much salt. It is terrible and chips the paint like nothing else. I wait a good few heavy rains in the spring before I even think about bringing my ride out. By that time, I am so jones'n to rip those gears, I am a speed freak for a good week or so. Someday I will get caught by the cops...But man, it feels so good after not driving the beast for months. And yes, those in Florida have it made.....
