Default Took the 85 out for a little stretch today.

It's in the 40's an sunny here, not a cloud in the sky.

After about 2 weeks of not starting her up, she cranked right over and had no problems burning some rubber around the area.

Big smile on my face and 80's on the Bose. I couldn't be happier with this car as a fun nice change of pace when i want to take it out.

Your killing me. I couldn't get up my driveway today in my 4 wheel drive truck. It's pure ice. Took a tumble too.

Had the 86 out last weekend. 60 miles in two months. Ugh. I miss my car.

You inspired me. So I put on my toque, took the cover off the car and sat in it in the garage. Too slushy and icy to drive anywhere. But it felt good to dream of warmer sunny weather. Soon.
