Default Celebrating the first time out this season.

It's only partly cloudy, it's 66 degrees, and it's Thursday, the day when I drive for work the most (home-office-downtown Cleveland at least twice, 18 miles each way).

I even had an unexpected noontime trip from downtown to Richfield and back to pick up a package.

Lots of looks, slowdowns to see the idiot driving top down on the way in to work this AM in 45 degree weather.

Had the top down except for the first leg of my trip early this AM. So if you saw me in I-480 or I-77, top down, with a huge smile plastered to my face.....the reason is that it's the first day I've driven my S since November 25th. OK, the second, I took it out for a 5-mile blast after dark last night (top down of course).

Now to get that Tanabe exhaust on (finally)......

Happy driving season 2010! Just wanted to share the joy.

Nice Doc. Although your other commuter-mobile should also put a pretty big smile on your face.

I"ll probably bring her out around Easter, as long as we've had a few rains to wash away the salt.

I guarantee not more than 3 major snowstorms left between today and the actual end of winter.

lol

I finally got my license plates yesterday and registered the vehicle. I still am waiting on some stuff to come in the mail before the car hits the streets...... I am probably in the same boat as Jonas.... it'll be right around Easter (maybe a bit earlier) before I pull the car out of the garage... I still want to get the windows tinted and have the stainless brake lines and new brake fluid put in as well.

I started driving top down on Sunday. I've only seen 2 other people with the top down: 1 in a Miata and 1 in a Porsche.
