Here in CT I think our winter has finally passed. Going driving tomorrow. My new car has been sitting for almost 3 months now outside of the one day in February when we reached close to 80 deg. Tomorrow plans to be Sunny and close to 60 deg.
Time to start driving. Not waiting any longer. Hope your snow does melt soon. Boy it must be tough up there. Good luck.

What's everyone's "signal" to bring 'em out? is it temperature? state of potholes in the area? lack of snow? boredom?

Sunny warmer weather, roads dry plus cleaned to remove all the rocks and/ or gravel put down for traction over the winter (as my windshield is pebbled enough already!). Around here that's usually late April to early May; first local PCA club drive is at the end of May.

Default Apparently today's not going to be the day either!

After another snowfall - I'm hopeful my driving season will start by end of this month.

yikes. there was less than an inch of "snow" here monday but now it's in that 40 degree and sunny range now. that's traditionally been the queue (for the tires sake).

Default Finally something white on my driveway that isn't snow!


First time out this year - came back last weekend from a road trip and found out that they had street cleaned the neighborhood.

Jeeze you guys up there do it tough! We have never had snow where I live so we get to drive 365.

Turbo's run so much better when it's cold though, so it's not all bad.

Bruni, Italiano? My wife is from Milano and her latest thing is my black 997tt is "boring" and "lacks beauty" and "doesn't speak to her" and is really pushing hard for me to trade to a Ferrari 355/360? Any advice on this? What should I tell her?
