Spring FEVER!!!

I couldn't take it any more. Today was the first day it finally got over 60 degrees, and I HAD to get the IROC out of storage. It has been in a buddies shop, under a cover for 5 months. I can't describe how excited I was to finally see it uncovered again, and pop open the door and get a nose full of leather smell! It felt soooo good to get behind the wheel of the old girl again!

Re: Spring FEVER!!!

I know! I'm getting excited too! I drove my car around the neighborhood Wednesday. It was ROWDY!!!

Haven't had it out on real roads yet because of salt. I always wait for 3 strong rain storms to wash the roads clean.

I'm the same way. We've had a few rains, here, and the roads are actually pretty clean.

So, was you car a little extra rowdy in the cool air?
