A great day!

Living in Pittsburgh means storing the P car from Dec. until there is no longer salt on the roads. I got my 86 out of storage today. Every spring it is like driving it for the first time. I would prefer to drive it year round but that first drive of the spring almost makes up for it.

I'm about 200 miles west of you so I know the feeling. Didn't get any of the cars out today because they all need work, but that first drive of the year is special.

Where at in the Burgh Bernie? I was down in Mount Morris looking at property today, but my two buddies kept texting me photos of them out cruising around in his new 04 turbo, and my other buddies 84 cabriolet.
I was a beautiful day for sure after a long cold winter.

I'm in Boston this week, lots of cancerous cars. Lots of salt. They may have switched from NACl to CaCl for salting the roads, but it still eats up the cars.

I'm also about 200 miles West of you (like WDFifteen) and was going to get the car out for the first time in 2 months, but had company and then 2 cars parked in front of my garage stall with no keys. A beautiful 60F. degrees was beckoning to take the roof out and just cruise.

A nice day here in Michigan as well. I didn't even uncover the 911 but I did spend some time in the garage messin' with the Suquinox.

Our yard is full of water from the melting snow so yard work was not possible.

It was 60 degrees here today in VA. I was dying to take the Targa out, but there's a TON of salt still on the road from that big storm we got on Wednesday. No snow left, but a ton of salt. Car stayed in the garage but I did get some yard work done.
