OK so its 50 degree's here in MD today, I am off work so I fire her up b/c its febuary and for the last 3 days its been unseasonably warm. Need to go to the bank...good enough excuse 4 me....

Well aside from the starbucks run ( 1hour and three conversations later) I am back on the road (no cup holders in the ole gal)

Well up the main drag I go and at the last min I decide lets take the back way....

small stretch of highway later (not that I would speed recklessly) but there were few on the road and a chance to get on er a bit so...100mph (quickly) back down to norm....

Off the highway to the back road...1/4 before the twisty turnoff and boom who am I behind...a MB goin 5 under....who then turns onto the twisty road ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) )....

well clear ahead and who saw that double yellow? VAROOM! 100 again over bumpy twisty greatness..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) singing in 4th @ 5k+rpm.....

I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) my car!

The end

me too : )

i noticed my car was low on gas - so i firgured i'd take it to the local gas station for some 90+ octane

then i figured i'd wind her out a little - unfortunately being a v8 my initial gear is second which gets me to 50mph in a hurry and once in third i only get a second or 2 before i am at 70 : ((

i am running 195/60/15's so my speedo - is a little off.

i sure would like to run out 3rd gear for a change : ))

i better hook up my tach.

I call it 'Roll-o-chrome' but a roll of duct-tape works great. Jus the right size for a Grande at Starbucks

I drove mine back and forth in the driveway again on Sat. as the snow was clean, streets still full of salt so I can't leave the drive way yet. Delivered some windows to the new Philadelphia Childrens Hospital on Thursday,(yes windows from Canada!) and couldn't believe how warm it was, quite windy though and all the while I was thinking if I lived here I could drive my car way more often!!

well my 914 wont see the road for at least another 3 or 4 months (note I have 2 914's but noone that I have ever driven) However, I intend to make my 911 road worthy again this weekend and hit the road with it when this rain lets up.

Same here, I put the top on a few weeks back so I could leave it in a parking lot for a few hours, but took it off again when I put it away. That's the second time it's been on in maybe 6 months... I didn't like having it on, so I'm waiting till it's dry for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) but that's just me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

When I started to read this tread from our brothers back east I was thinking what a drag it is to own a car you cannot drive in the winter- time but then the west cost guys chimed in as we have had a hot of rain this season. We need it but our cars unless daily drivers do not see it. Think how long all of out cars will last now? Not like when these babies where new.

I hear You Josh. These cars demand our undivided attention.
Your experience was somewhat like mine of last weekend. Went to the track and got my 1st lapping day in a long time. 1st with the new motor.

I was passing most everything out there running in the blue group.

Smokin Mustangs coming out of the corners and onto the straights is just so cool.

Raining like a MOFO here so I'll just stay homen today.

Not being able to drive a 914 all winter long would really suck.

I get to drive mine all the time. I generally won't drive it if it's below 30 in the morning or if there is snow on the streets. And we haven't seen squat for snow this winter. It will probably get out a couple of times this weekend. mid 40's and sunny Sunday and over 50 on Monday (I'm off work for Pres Day).
