Off the road for winter again...
So I drove my GTA for a week and enjoyed every last KM of it! I only put it on the road for a 10 day permit just to blow all the cobwebs out. The nice thing was she was actually running much better than last year. Last summer it had a rough idle (it would fluctuate between 400-800 rpm) and usually stalled at stop signs a couple times per trip.... it was running rich, and almost every time I drove it, the check engine light went on and gave me a MAF error.
But this year it ran a bit smoother (idled around 700-800) and in 10 days it never stalled or threw a code once! It was still running pretty rich, but overall it ran much better than last year. Not sure if it was just the cool air maybe????
I'll miss her.... can't wait til next year! ha ha

84 goes away..85 Winter weapon might be comin back out unless i pick up the "beater" from up the road from my place.
If that happens the 85 goes under the "knife" to shed a "few" pounds

Took the last drive in the Iroc tonight(oct 31), The Insurance is off as of the 1st of November. What a great summer, the top was down more often than up. This time of year always bums me out
