Default In love, all over again

I broke my leg in a minor motorcycling faux pa in Mexico early April and have been unable to use my car since that time. Had to cancel 2 DE's, one at COTA. Big bummer.

Well this weekend I gave myself a father's day gift and backed the car out, washed it, and went off to pick my daughter up so she could take me out to lunch.

It's funny, when the car just sits in the garage getting dusty you start to lose a little interest in it. One good drive and that's CURED! God, I LOVE this car! I've had it for 6.5 years now and it still trills me more than any vehicle I've owned. Really blessed to have it.

Time to plan a track weekend!

yes! i feel the same way when i let the car sit a week or two then drive it (not in traffic) and then i love it all over again. it's also very easy to get in the swing and cadence of driving it as well.

I like to park mine, drive my antiques, then hop in the RS and remember how awesome it is. Keeper for sure. Sellers are nuts.

Nope. Returning to Mexico. But this time to the safety of a resort on the beach. :-)

Every winter I think I should sell my 930. Every spring I fire her up, go for a drive, and think "nope".
