amazing what a week will do

parked my baby for a week while the weather wasn't too good. Today it felt like a beast when I took her to work. Not sure if it was the cool weather or just me imagining it but it was awesome. Guess absence really does make the heart grow fonder dreading winter and putting her away for the longer periods that are sure to come

you should drive your car more often...even during "weather wasn't too good", before the really bad weather comes.

at least you enjoy it when you take it out

Yeah, when I drive my Honda for a week, and get the Camaro out, it gets better each time.

the temperature change seems to make a big difference on the V6... I know I notice it.

I know I went to the track last friday, and even though I had skinny 245 winter tires all around my 2LT ran a best of 14.4, because the weather was around 45-50 that night. I'm sure if I had bigger tires out back so I could actually take off fast I would have gotten low 14's. These things are a beast!!

I will be glad when my baby gets delivered. Mine will be a D/D so no parking in bad weather but we do not get many days of bad weather. Snow a day or two and sometimes ice. When it has ice on the roads the whole town stays at home.

He speaks the truth..It's ridiculous how Georgia drivers react to a little bit of snow. It's best to actually park the car and STAY HOME because Georgia drivers PANIC when they see a snowflake..
