Myself, I'm thinking next week, after the rainfall to wash off the salt.

My eight was garaged for 2 months when I lived in Indiana(because I only lived in Indiana for 2 months of winter when I had my RX8).


Out here in AZ, Its out all year round.

Yep, I saw everyone out and about today. Lots of exotics roaming the streets right now.
I saw alot of people already switched their tires over to summer rubber.

I actually made the stop at Tires 23 to order my rims and tires for this season.

I think the rubber should be back on by next weekend. If not the next.

The FD should hit the road early next month. Gotta get emissions done on her first.
Anyone know where I can get emissions done?

Mine's out already but I'll probably switch back to summers end of March weather permitting. Somehow I managed to keep my 8 inside on the wet/snowy days this winter. glad there weren't too many of those this season!

You are, apparently, not from a metric country. Nice try, though.

Footman,

Who said I was going to sell the car??? You should know I would never do that. She's been with me for 12yrs! That's a hell of a long time! You just don't get rid of a vehicle after spending so much time with her.

I'm hoping to bring her out by early April. We'll see about obtaining an emissions test soon.

I am a 4 seasons driver.
I am going to remove gorilla seat covers and big clunky winter mats and install race pipe, rims/tires, new shortshifter, strakes, led lights and puddlelights in two weeks.
