Default What an enjoyable day!

Had to post my driving experience today. Here in SE Michigan, would classify our weather as balmy and crisp! Bright sun screaming at me to get that '5 out of hibernation



Eat your heart out you eastcoasters

I love those roundabouts...gear down, traffic clears, ease into the gas, then nail her WOW! Just a blast driving her. This is what it's all about!

Cul-de-sacs can be fun, too. This was laid down a couple of weeks ago on the cul-de-sac on my street. The suspect is a Hemi Charger my wife spotted cruising the neighborhood.

Hey Matt - Yes, it’s a perfect circle and it ends at exactly the same spot where it began to close the circle completely. Wish I had a drone to take a photo from overhead.

Waiting on the current Beatle Week (8 days a week) to end. We have extended antique plates on both cars, so we can only drive them from April 1st to October 31st. Weather permitting, still 8 days till the cars get their spring run. We enjoy April Fool's day.

The car looks great, I really like the wheels and tires. I don't recall seeing them but it's been a while. Hope all is well and you enjoy the Spring season.

Thanks for that Jim! Our DD is a deep-blue-almost-black Audi and my barometer for how much salt and mgcl is still on the roads. With so much polished aluminum, I'm waiting for a few good weeks of heavy spring rains before I bring mine out of storage. At least I got a good trek out to Scottsdale and SEMA last fall.

Even worse than the salt is everything else on my plate these days, so I'll just enjoy your great ride vicariously!
