Default Coming out of hibernation in the GTA

So who else took their p-car out of hibernation today?
such a nice day here in Toronto that I had to take 2021 c2s out of winter hibernation.
the ctek battery tender did its job. The car drove beautifully as usual and made me realize how much I miss driving the car.
the car is so dirty though lol, will take it for a car wash and also readjust the tire pressure.

10cm of snow forecasted north of Hwy 7 tomorrow and the next 2 weeks not looking so hot either. That being said I did see a number of summer toys on the road this afternoon.

yikes at least I got to drive it a bit today and went to hit some golf *****, even if it’s at a golf dome. Lol

i drove beside a nice yellow Lambo today on the DVP, got off the Bloor exit, he went north to Bloor and I went south to Bayview South.

Better not go out with your 20"+ rims if you didn't get the insurance

Had two days out with the GT4 so far. Very light driving but anytime it’s been around 10c I’ve been trying to get some time in.

Probably late April for me, was considering over Easter weekend but travelling for work the following week so may as well push it out a bit.

The roads in my area are also a complete disaster so hopefully there is a pot hole blitz over the next couple weeks... not that those are that effective either mind you.
