Have you ever been just giddy about your car?

Only drove mine sparingly after I first bought it last summer. Got it running just to see what I had and what it needed (a whole D##$$ lot). …..and to make sure it gave me the bug to get going. Now it’s starting to go back together. Should be fun. One other thing; why don’t you guys in the Great White North just store your cars down here in the winter? Have a nice drive down in late October when first blizzard hits. Could catch a flight down ever so often and enjoy your toys. Have a nice drive back home when the glaciers go away in June or whatever it is. Let’s see…yep, 70’s and 80’s this week and sunny. The Bradford pear trees are starting to bloom out. You can take a spin through the Texas Hill Country late next month and take some awesome pictures of your 951s in the Bluebonnets. Paid for by Texas Tourism Commission

I don't know what's up and why others don't drive their cars more often. I get giddy everyday when I jump into mine and drive to work. Sometimes it's just cruising along nicely enjoying the feel, and others it's full bore high boost enjoyment. Some days I end up driving home in snow, some days rain, some days fast, some slow but no matter what it is fun.
I imagine I have had more turbos on my car in the last year than anyone else but still find a way to jump in and drive on monday morning or sunday afternoon.
Life is too short to not have fun with these things IMO.

I have been meaning to reinstall the stereo to the new car, but a big reason I've taken so long in doing so is because I'm perfectly content bombin' around sans radio.
I sure do feel sorry for all y'all snowed-in folks...lemme put it this way -- the turbos sure do love that cold weather.

It will get worse on me soon, as I should be getting my new 3" SS exhaust, GT 3076 Turbo, Vitesse V-Flex Maf and piggy back, CPR Splitter, and some other Misc parts this week.

I do the same thing, unfortunately I have a lot of work to accomplish. My car is on jack stands, New KW Var 3's hanging from the strut mounts that I enjoyed 100 miles, New E-code headlights that I got to enjoy for 25 mile commute to work prior to my engine blowing back in December. 2, 5 shelve racks full of new parts to go back on, but I still get excited every time I step into my garage to do a little more work to get her back on the road.

YUP! My car was in the body shop for all of last summer and fall. It was bad because I realized that my 951 is the best form of stress relief, or at least one of them.
I drive it around every few days now and its missing part of the rear spoiler and a few other parts.

It's been a good 6 months since I have taken mine out. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so I can do the suspension on my car. My garage isn't heated, plus waiting for funds to roll in to get my car rolling!! Bought a new toy last year to keep me busy some so I haven't been driving my car that much. New toy, 2004 Yamaha R6.

I hate to even work on my car as that is time it is not able to be out on the road ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Not to mention the Jeckle and Hyde effect of winter intake temps have on the car.
