Rain sweet rain wash all the salt away

Rain sweet rain wash all the salt away.........................I can finally put the battery in the Porsche and drive it!

It's been warm enough the past week or two to drive, but the crystalline gleem on the road kept the Porsche in the garage.

Time to go crazy.

I'm praying for the same rain to get the gravel off the roads so the Aprilia can hunt. Started her for the first time this season yesterday!

Just goes to show you what a difference 1-1/2 hours north makes.

Yep, the roads are getting cleaned up from the rain around me. I just got the car back from the glass shop (new windshield) on Monday, changed oil and I'm just waiting for nice, warm weather now!

I am waiting for the rain to wash all the gobs of green pollen of the road.

George,
I drove mine over to wcc's(Bill) house in Lansing last Sunday to work on his 930. Fortunately, the freakin' rainstorm that I ran into washed most everything off the roads. Stupid windshield leaked in a new spot this year. Actually, it was kinda cool watching the rain run off of the fenders. It still looked good even after it stopped raining. You could see the airflow around the different parts of the car. Get out and drive it, man!!

I just saw a black 911 on my way to work on I-275, near Novi. I'll drive my car this evening and this weekend if it doesn't rain. I'm loving my new windshield.

I'm on the road again!

Last night I took Huron River Drive into Dexter to meet the wife for dinner.

Today I took a long drive into Gregory, it's out there, as you can tell by the tractor filling up besides me.
