Thumbs up A very wondrous thing happened today on this 29th day of March!

This godless monstrosity...

was banished to the darkest most remote corner of the storage shed.




And this example of a wonderful marvel of human engineering, performance, design, and utmost style...

was awoken from it months of slumber.

Hopefully its Northern brethren are also stirring.

C’mon summer, bring it on!!!

"This godless monstrosity..."

What the heck is that thing? Looks like a wood chipper turned on its side.

PS. I live in Florida.

I used to use those damn things *the wood shipper on its side* - And then in the summer I would use the upside down helicopter, aka, the damn lawnmower.

Now, I use neither. No snow for the blower, and not enough land for any grass that I have cut...personally.

Dang guys, I've already been pushing the lawn mower around for a couple weeks. (well, walking behind it's self-propelledness)

The pleasure of driving a Shark in the Great White north is inversally proportional to that red thing with the auger.

Now don't be hating on the snowblower.

Without mine I'd never get those 4+ inch snowfalls off the skating rink.

Hacker, snow in the spring is like an STD, it's not so bad, as long as it doesn't stick around

Yep, my Shark is just outta the barn for the year!

This winter she got new springs, adjustable spring perches and steel front ball joints! I fitted her with one of the group buy wings and am fitting a new engine bay insulation pad this weekend.

I gotta say, raising the old girl to the stock ride height and getting the suspension correctly adjusted made a world of difference! Thanks for everything especially the advice, 928 INTERNATIONAL. She handles like a $90,000.00 sport GT now.

Hey Watercooler,

Mine came out 2 weekends agos to get smog tested.
Came out again this past weekend for a couple of hours on Sunday.

Now as soon as all that sand and grit on the roads gets washed away or swept up, perhaps it will become the daily driver again.

In the meantime, the supercharged pontiac will have to do.
