are we all finally driving our cars again?  And obviously I mean those of us with cars on the road who put them into winter storage.
Personally I haven't had a chance to get mine out yet but I'm drooling for the chance. :drool5:

We're supposed to get 3 to 6 inches of snow tomorrow night.  I'm telling you the novelty of winter is wearing off.

Put about 30 miles on Saturday with a club "Poker Run" cruise.  Weather was excellent and we had a good time.  That's the most miles I've put on the Charger since I got it back on the road  :2thumbs:

Yeah, we're getting a wet snow right now.  Sucks.  And this weekend I head out for three weeks with work so by the time I get back I'll be jonesing bad for some Charger time because I expect the weather to be turned by then.
I did get to borrow a Daytona from work last week for a couple of days and that only made it worse which is probably why I started this thread in the first place.

Brake issue resolved and had it out for a spin for gas last week on Thurs.  After taking 19.8 gals of 93 octane and burning a hole in my wallet with the credit card, $78 later I was back on the road and hearing the motor roar nicely.  What a great feeling.  Then I got the parking break issue but hopefully now that the adapter bracket is flipped around the right way (thanks Bill!) :2thumbs: I can get it adjusted so it actually holds the car.  First show of the season is only 2 weeks away for me!  Time to start the cleaning and shining again!

Yesterday was the first decent day of the season.  I took my grandson in the Charger to Hot Rod Cafe in Post Falls, Idaho.  That's about a hundred mile round trip.  It felt great after a long cold winter.  However, I am now watching snow falling outside.  :flame: :brickwall: :flame: :brickwall:

Same here, although, I live on the line where we could get 6 to 10 inches too.

This has been a very frustrating weather year so far. It rains here almost every day!  :RantExplode:

The ten-day forecast has only 2 days of the next ten with no rain.  :rotz:

Man, you wait all winter just to watch the rain come down. I want to move to So.Cal.!!!   :yesnod:

Sure, you can drive it to the gas station.  and then back home!   :icon_smile_big:     :-\

If the gas station was on top of a big hill you could coast back home.
