Temps hitting upper 80s down south we riding! Big car shows starting this weekend.

 

It's snowing right now.

 

Got a ways to go yet here in WNY. BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

Yea, got a snowstorm last night. We are now over the 300cm of snow this winter.

 

Mine don't "sit up" all winter. I live in central Texas!!!

 

Started her up and moved her a little last week. Got a little wet with the door open. That was some freezing rain that caused a lot of power outages (nut not for us this time). Got about 8" of snow Friday. But she'll be out of hibernation soon.

 

 

Still lots of snow on the ground and cold in MN but I can’t wait to start cruising!!

 

Fill-up before heading to an all-pontiac and gmc show a couple weeks ago.

 

Is that a POCI chapter show?

 

Yes, it was. It was a great event.

 

 

That car is strangely cool.
And then I see in your sig it's got a Supra turbo engine. Even more cool.

I'd like to see more of it if you've got time to share.

 

The one with the Supra engine is this one

 

She’s been in the garage for about 15 winters, hoping to finally get her out this summer

 

This was a couple weeks ago!

 

Going to be sitting for a while, lots of work still to be done. Hopefully by summer she'll be back on the road.

 

Since some of you guys are so close to Dayton, you should slide to the Nationals in August. Really dust them off and enjoy the fun!

 

We’re about 35 miles south of Dayton, haven’t been to a Nationals in many many moons, gonna have try and make this years.

 

I know the feeling! This will be the first summer since I starting building mine 10 years ago that it will be drivable. It’s coming out whether I have a windshield, fenders, hood or not! LOL

 

I already have my registration!

 

Yep, registration and hotel taken care of months ago.

 

Well, I have nothing to bring out of hibernation, so I'll have to just enjoy all of the pics of other's cars as they come out of hibernation.

 

This situation is unnatural. Nature is not in balance. You really need to get another 3rd gen.

 

It snowed again today.

 

Long way to go. Ready to tip on its side soon.

 

Same here. Another snowy weekend in Detroit.

 

 

Started up the 'Bird the first time this year. Really rough start after 6 months of slumber, but got the cobwebs blown out after about a minute.

Damn that car is good though. All my hard work on the tune last year paid off big time with a flawless drive. And I haven't heard that banshee scream for 6 months. Lovely.

 

My car saw it's shadow and decided to stay in hibernation for another 6 weeks! We had 12" of snow last Saturday. A few more flurries today. Warmer temps in the near future we hope. Looking to get the '88 TA out around May 1st. It's always a fun day full of anticipation. Kind of like opening day of the baseball season (which starts tomorrow for the BrewCrew!).

 

It's Got 5 Months Worth Of Dust On It

 

I actually drove my car 8 miles this past Sunday. Was almost 50 out and recent rain washed away all the salt. This was my farthest drive with the car so far. Gotta get seat time in to figure out if everything works correctly and what might need to be adjusted / fixed.
Car has an exhaust cutout, no front end or any glass besides the hatch - definitely got some funny looks! Or maybe it's the cousin eddie hat & aviator glasses. *shrug*

 

We've had a few good rains, and a nice sunny 50* afternoon on Monday, so we took the T/A out for some exercise, burn off some old gas, etc.

 

It's snowing again here today.

 

I removed the Ronals off of the Formula and went back to stock....

 

And where is "here"?...

 

Been out,up to work for a bath even.​​​​​​​

 

Nice car. I really like those wheels.

 

.

 

I don't have any good pictures of it, just this video I took of a Cold Start when I moved the car into my new house. I'd definitely want to wash the car before I post pictures of it, it's in need of a serious scrubbing. Heck, it's in need of a straight out paint-job. But now that I have a house, with a garage, I can start to fix all of this issues, its just gonna take a lot of time and elbow grease.

 

Ahh, forgot I did snap some pics of my cars in their new home.

 

Has your wife been informed she is parking outside?

 

I don't have a wife, but if I did, I'd have prenupitals declare the garage is my domain, and she would have to waive all rights to the cars and cats.

There is going to be a car #3. I'm thinking an Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio at this point. A 2.9L TT 510hp Ferrari v6 sounds like a nice bit of fun.

 

The T/A came across loud and clear on the video by the way.

 

Yeah, I tell people the Focus is as quiet as a mouse fart. It is silent, but deadly when comparing braking/handling.

And yeah, I forget what the GTA sounds like to everyone outside the car. Video's like that one help me remember. One of these days I'll have someone give it the beans when I'm watching from the outside. I wanna hear it hit 7000.

That video is actually a lot longer than it sounds. I cut out sections between starting the cars, and revving them. So it sounds like I started the car and immediately revved it, but instead I let the cars idle for about 5 minutes. Enough time to get the oil around 120°F or so.

 

 

LIES! That's no LS! Your windshield is a fibber!

 

haha I did have an Ls before this

 

This was a couple weeks ago. We had a couple stretches of nice weather, but it's back to cold and rainy now, so the car is back in mini-hibernation.
