Everyone post your Spring Pics!
Figured maybe we can mesh this into one thread since so many of us are dusting off our babies and bringing them out. So post your pics in here for all to see, that way we dont miss anything and it can keep the boards a little cleaner 
took these today down at the UofM campus....I wanted to hit up a few spots Ive seen over the winter but it actually started to hail
...so I had to duck into this parking garage until it stopped....once it did I figured I could go up to the roof and snap a few - though I was really disappointed with the color of the paint in this light....too dark and muddy for my tastes (I really love how the first one turned out though)

you mean the lower air dam deflector? Yea it's there, I just usually do a good job of hiding it in pics, mine hangs only 1/4 of an inch off the ground, so it scraped everywhere!....but my car used to overheat without it (now the engine bay hardly gets hot)

It would drive me crazy if I had to wait for a nice day to take pics like some of you guys have to. 
Fortunately for me in the next few months a great deal of progress will be made with the car. In fact, the windows were supposed to be tinted today but other things came up
Anyways I haven't gotten as much done as I would have like'd in these past 9 months- stupid high school
Here you can see why the car is hittin' the paint booth in June lol.

First day i pulled the bird out, which was last friday, im cruisin around with the gf and take a corner that was kinda bumpy and begin headin up this hill and then i notice the tach was at 0... cranky, but no starty... o well ya so i ended up letting it roll back down this hill and pulled into some driveway... well it was a nice day and the fuel pump thought to itself "you kno, its been 17 years and i havent taken a dump... so i think now is the day." o well that was my fun spring time story
