I get my car back finally tomorrow. Of course it is over the Cascade MTN's. It is supposed to snow some tonight & tomorrow. Which I'm still deciding how I want to bring it home. I may flat tow it back & take a shorter route. If I drive it back I'll be making a big loop up to I84 & through Portland just to stay out of the snow in the mtn range. If I drive over my AWD suv to flat tow. I may take a route through the mtn's. Still figuring that out. Not sure I want to trust it's maiden voyage to a good 6 hour drive right out of the box (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
At this point I'm just so damn happy to be getting it back. I just want to drive over there right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Attached image(s) |

Couple from today. Pic with my first drive after so long. Plus one when I was leaving. There was snow in bend. After going through the mtns on the way over & even closer to bend. There were a lot of little rocks to help with traction. WAs not digging that at all so I was definitely not going home that way. I took the long way around which worked great. I literally had snow for like 5 miles then it was nice & clear the rest of the drive. Wish I had driven it home but I would have frozen my butt off. LOL! Anyway made it home with zero trouble. Detached it from my tow rig & hooked the battery up. Started it again & smiled while it warmed up some. Then promptly went into town to give it a quick bath to get all the road grime off. Man it's been so long but I think with the new ECU. It is pulling a little harder. Maybe the tune is a little better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Anyway could just be I haven't driven it in so long. IT puts a big ass smile on my face though. Long overdue (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
Plus I put my suby/vw sticker on. Thanks Kent Attached thumbnail(s) |
