Got mine out yesterday. Wife came out wanted to drive. 150 miles later we pull back in the garage. I realize I didnt drive any.
Today I finally get a chance before dark to take for a 30 mile spin alone
Targa Top Back windows down 68 degrees doesnt get much better than that.
Beautiful Weekend Hope everyone had a great time in the car.

Ahhh what a day.
Snow and rain don't worry me- I'm more concerned with salt especially since I expect to hold onto this car for a number of years. Then again, I've driven over miles of dirt/gravel roads (including a real muddy one today), which is probably worse, so my concern is probably misplaced...

yep. Rolled her out and washed the fine layer of dust off and cleaned the interior. Then went for a 50 mile ride with all the windows and sunroof open and seat heat and heat turned up!
Next is a nice trip on Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Pkwy. Watch out for potholes though.

Blew it out on Sunday morning...got on the interstate, checked the mirrors and the road ahead and punched it until I hit 100mph mark in 3rd gear. Backed it down and cruised home. Smelled that smell when I got home and had that same great feeling all over again. Spring is here...

56 Degrees in NJ on Sunday - woke her up from several months hibernation. The roads are terrible from the snow, have to watch out or I'll be buying new wheels and tires in a week!

It's funny how much more attention I get in the car in the spring. I've driven it all winter and gotten the odd nod or thumbs up but since the weather has been nice it seems like every second person is checking my car out.
Mind you, the exhaust is modified as of last week and the calipers are red so maybe that's what's drawing the attention. Dunno, either way it's cool since it's my first spring with Scarlett.

Yes, just like every other weekend, I broke the Porsche's hibernation and took it out for a good thrashing. These cars really were meant to be driven in all seasons.
