Weather is supposed to be good tomorrow...I may be bustin' mine out of the garage to take to work. I may even find an excuse or two to take a longer lunch, and maybe leave a little early tomorrw.

I'm moving to MI this fall from ATL, GA... dang, it's going to suck having to store the S in winters.

Here (ATL), I drive it just about every sunny day (40-60 deg). Oh well, I guess I better enjoy it while it lasts.

I put the insurance back on the S this Monday and have drivin 180 miles this week already. One extra thing that sucks about winter and the S, even with no snow, is the roads are extra rough (frost heaving) and the suspension gets extra stiff (in the cold), not a good combo.

Nothing better than coming off the 270 degree turn to be back up to 80 mph before you cross the overpass you just went under. Takes like an extra 400-500 feet with my Aveo.

Cosworth, get a winter beater!!! Just don't do it. 4" clearance, rear-wheel drive, no traction control, you HAVE to switch out tires. Just buy a used Civic (as old as you want to afford) and you will be happy.
