Default Finally!

I finally tool my car out for a drive today. After removing the cover, putting away the mouse traps, unhooking the battery tender and a quick look in the engine compartment, I fired it up and drove off. Runs like it should!

After a freakishly slippery, early snow storm last November, our governor was severely criticized for not acting so strongly to prepare for what was to be an early light to moderate a snow storm. As a result, it seems every town, county and the state road crew kept dumping huge amounts of salt on the roads this year in anticipation of epic snow disasters. The very last (late) snow storm was the only one that had me start up my snowblower. I also was involved in a few home projects so this is the first winter in some time that I did not start it up the whole time. Anyway, the salt is gone, the roads are dry and its about 60F.

Ahh.... Spring! Hopefully this summer is a bit dryer than last year. Happy Motoring!

Sorry to say this, but I love living in Texas. I get to drive year round. Glad your cars are coming out of hibernation.

It's bitter sweet living in the Great White North. Car goes away every Fall, but then feels like you get a new car again every Spring.

A few more weeks of patience required for me.

I drive a 2009 C4S and live in Montréal. I have elected to drive it all year around. Enjoying the car 12 months a year instead of 6 makes a huge difference for me. Don't care about the diminishing value....they are built to be driven!
