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!


EDIT: Got any photos?

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.
