Do you have a desire to drive your car after reading the forum?

I find that even though I've been driving my car everyday for 2 weeks, due to my VW having its engine rebuilt (ahhh), as soon as I read the forums, I want to jump in again and drive!

omg I love my car!!!!, and I swear after detailing it this weekend, it is driving smoother

Matt

I used to drive my car as my daily driver. Nearly everyday for 4 years, and when I sold it I enjoyed driving it as much or more as when I bought it. I can't wait to get another. Unfortunately, I'll probably have to (wait that is).

You bet. The last time it DIDNīT rain here was three weeks ago!

The entertainment level in my Grand Cherokee is pretty much non existent. V8 or not.

Yep, that's what keeps me going during the non-driving season (Dec-April here in Michigan). I'll take the car out for a spin this evening and smile the whole time!

We have been going through a heat wave the last couple of weeks and my non-ac 911 has been mostly sitting in the garage. Tomorrow the heat breaks and it will again be my daily driver until next July! I can park my optioned to the hilt SUV and get back to just a basic car.

Usually when I read the OT forum, I want to stick a hot poker in my brain to kill some braincells and erase these memories......... but for some strange reason, I keep returning......

I wish someone would bump the grid girls thread!

My 911 is 720 miles away from me tucked under a car cover in my garage in North Carolina. Do I miss it?? Hell yeah!!

Especially after the afternoon I had, my RX7, with a whopping 460 miles on its new engine died today. I was driving it home to stay and the engine let go, yes its under warranty but, now I have to wait, god knows how long for it.

I want my 911 back here with me.......



10 more weeks until I go up and bring her back to Fla..
