Whats your Spring Ritual?

Hi guys


Well i still have two weeks to wait till i can legally drive my GTA, but i can feel it rumble already. I started seeing 5.0 come out, couple vettes, and r.i.c.e, all begging for a spanking

All i have to do, is uncover it from its winter sheilds, put the battery back in, dust it, and enjoy!

I cant wait for that first drive, you know the one where you burn a tank of gas. After months of driving a 4 banger winter car, the feeling of a throaty V8 under your foot is soooooo good

So what do you guys do in that first weekend of driving ?

I drive my car year round - so every day is pretty much the same.

well I just did part of mine today. I took the bra off washed and waxed the outside of it and took it for a little spin around town. I hav had the cover off for a month or so now because Ive been needing to move it around the house and stuff. I know exactly how you feel about the 4 popper compared to the good old American V8. especially after I did some sterrring and suspension work over the winter its like driving a whole different car now and I love it.

the only time my car is down, is when something breaks, or if im tearing the motor apart, which I seem to be doing quite frequently lately...I can now officially rebuild a small block chevy quicker than any of my friends(and better too)

I just cleaned my car today. I have been waiting over five months to drive my car and it's finaly nice out:lala:

When I take it out I have to clean it and then dive and drive as much as I can and listen to the sound of the V8 while I look for some imports
