Unhappy Winter Depression

Hey guys... I have been feeling bummed out lately. I really miss taking my Z for a drive, washing it, staring at it, wrenching on it... you know...

So I'm looking for a bit of a pick-me-up. Post up a favourite picture of your current car, be it a Z, Mustang, Evo, Lada, whatever.

To give you an idea of what is making me sad, besides the messy garage, I have to see my Z under wraps for its winter nap every day,

Here is one of my favourite shots of my Z. This was right after I picked it up, bone stock.

I would post a picture but I said screw the winter and have been driving the Z most days now. Hopefully this good weather holds up.

Nice! Did you black out the tail lights? The black rims looks awesome with the red.

Thanks for the pic!

Post up a pic of your car! Would love to get a better view of your signature.

You're right, the winter hasn't been that bad this year. I'm just bummed out because my Z has been under wraps since the end of October...

Less than 4 months away from ZDayZ '12.

Cool shot! The scenery is awesome!

Would love to see more of your Mustang. It's even "my" colour!
