I'll probably give it a quick bath tonight after work then tuck it in.
I'm topping off the gas in the VFR on the way home tonight. Then it gets parked in the shop where I'll change the oil over the weekend and cover it. The prediction is for 4-8" of snow Sunday-Monday, so I'm sure they will be dumping salt.

Watched a few minutes of the first episode of The Grand Tour last night before turning in. I liked it and it did seem that with Amazons deep pockets the production value of this project was much superior to Top Gear.

Local speed shop is having a viewing party tonight in their shop. I've been there before for movies and that is where I go for cars and coffee. Not sure if I'll go, or watch it at home. (I watched the intro last night. Shows promise.)

My wife is clamoring for me to get a free Amazon Prime membership (hooray for having a .edu work email address!) just so we can binge watch this weekend.

Given how much he has been whining of late, I think his once young team mate Seb may also be headed towards retirement. Webber was never my favorite, but I liked how candid he was in the interviews.

I believe amazon prime is totally worth the money. It's $99 a year and you get free 2 day shipping on anything that is prime eligible, which is most
things that I have ordered in the past 2 years. The savings on the shipping charges alone offsets the $99 and you get it in 2 days. Plus you
get access to some movies/shows/etc. on top of that.

As some of you have noticed, I've been busy on an addition to the house, weddings, travel, work, and injury to my hips.
I just haven't had time to drive the s2k hardly at all.
Today I put everything aside and wifey and I took "The Long Drive"

we went the long way all around Cayuga lake taking in every site we could, and every twisty road I knew of.
Top down all day.
Weather was like a summer morning.
it only reinforced that this is/was one of the best cars ever made.

After 6 hrs in the seat, I stopped and filled up Eth-free, put it up on the lift, and tucked it in for the winter ahead.

Days like this this remind me why I own this car and will never sell it.
Stay warm my friends...
