Impatient for the nice weather yet?

How about it? I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I am getting anxious for the nice weather to return. My car is calling for a good car wash, polish, seal, and wax. Not looking too good right now, but it will when it warms up. Anyone else feeling like this? heh

I sure wish it was back. Sunday was such a teaser day with the 65* temps.. and now its like 30* and possible snow again. I may not even have the Camaro out this summer but it would still be nice to check out the nice cars I see driving around.

What? How can you stand having a sweet roc in your garage and not drive it, even a little bit?

Yeah, it will be hard but I can't afford it. I just bought an 01 Monte Carlo SS and the insurance is killing me until I turn 21 in September. I might have to move who knows where after I finish my Volvo training, so if I have to move the Camaro isn't going with. If I get a job around here, I might just rebuild the engine since its knocking or do an engine swap- depending on my money situation then.
