push the button and tony's FI exhaust note alerts the neighbors---"she's awake"---the beauty and the beast...
as she purrs thru her customary 2 mile "warm up" i feel like she's a super slim, stealthy, steely cat on the prowl (w/a big butt, mind you) as she approaches the light...
we bed down---and then she's off---and for the first time in over a week i hear her roar, i feel her thrust forward under foot pedal pressure and i feel the power surge up into the steering wheel and we're GONE !!! DAMN I LOVE THIS CAR !!!
i can't imagine the elation of our brothers when winter's over back east after months of garaging...

 it does feel fresh every spring. that's one benefit of having
a hobby car in the snow belt state. you dont really get tired of the car.
