I totally agree. So far I've been able to drive it most of the winter here in northern IL. Every morning I take a 10 mile run to the grocery that's one mile away. It's a great feeling to own this car.

Well, it's Saturday night here in the Philippines, but this morning all I had to drive was my Camry.
Really wasn't that exciting at all, now that I think of it.
Only thing exciting was that I had a Jeepney pull out in front of me that I almost hit.

I've had my coupe going on four years and the pleasure of owning and driving it hasn't diminshed one iota, although I have made some fifty-four modifications to it since buying it, which keeps it fresh.

Any of those 54 mods contain a set of LT headers .. a computer tune .. a cam .. ported heads .. supercharger .. high stall torque converter ..
You know, the stuff that makes power!

Totally in agreement. Roads have cleared up after our the snowstorm, drove around yesterday and today. Actually saw two Corvettes, a red C5 yesterday, and a blue c6 today. Nice to give and receive a wave again.

Had the baby out for a cruise this morning and went over to the NCM to meet up with forum member LisasZR1 for a tour of the museum.
It was a perfect spring like day here in Mecca and the roads were clear and as twisty as they were in fall when I last left them...LOL.
