Best time of year: Taking the Z out

Cyberium · 03-09-2012, 02:17 PM

Put the Z away around mid October because we had a weird snow storm (I think the only one of the winter) and with temp's supposed to be around 55/60 all next week, I think it is finally time to bring her back out.

It's quite funny to have all my co-workers and neighbors ask "So... taking the car out soon?". It is like the official sign of Spring for them or something.

5 long, long months. I need to start driving this beast more... 3 year anniversary on March 30th and only has 11k on it.

And to the winter ride: 2001 Jeep Cherokee... don't get me wrong... I love you. You always start when I need you and you have been a trusty steed.. but it's time for you to step aside and enjoy your old age, basking in the sun.

Here is to another great year!

I put the Z in October as well, then a few weeks later I was like F it, im just gonna drive it since mother nature seemed to be kind to New Englanders this winter.

I'm (Vermont) green with envy.

Winter is breaking here too but there is still some snow around and the roads are way too salty and covered with sand and gravel to take out the Z (or the bike) yet.

Maybe next week - warmer temps and road-cleaning rain is in the forecast.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Yesterday temps were up in the 60s it was such a beautiful day to drive the Z.

Plan is next week for me, winter tire law is up (15th) and should have some good days ahead!

Just want more rain between now and then to wash all the gravel away...plus Montreal is Pot Hole city...so will be mostly short drives or highway untill April when its more fixed
