Spring is back

After driving months driving my winter car ... which isnt that bad ..... since the weather in Chicago is going to be good for atleast two weeks, I decided that its time to bring out the 8. It has since November and I missed driving my baby.



anyone else out there that bring out their 8 from the winter (for the people that garage it during the winter that is)

I barely drove it for the winter. Its been parked in my garage for the past week and a half. I drove it maybe once every 2 weeks, when the weather was nice lol.

Cant wait for spring so I can drive it more

My plan is to pull it out on Easter weekend. Snow needs to go away a little more. Got a nice list of stuff to put in if it's nice!

Progress sways, LED brake light, OMP adapter... fun times ahead!

It was 80 in my part of kansas today so my baby got the wash and wax that she's desperately been needing. I went out for a drive after and it would have been awsome but my 8's not running right. My engine light has been on a while for my O2 sensor so I'm hoping that fixes it.

My area got a lot of snow and rain and sub-zero temps over the past week, but that has finally broken. It's in the 60's today and will hit 70's for the weekend. I've already resolved to drive the 8 to work on nice days from now on. No point paying for a car and not driving it!
