Springgggg!
Well, not quite, but here in the NE it was 60 both days. Is there anything sweeter than the sound of a flat 6 wailing away after not hearing it for 4 months?

Greg,
I know EXACTLY what you mean, I started the car for the 1st time since 12/1 and went on a "fun run" for two glorious hours! I don't expect the warm weather to last, but I'll take every good day I get!!! Woohoo!!! 60 degrees on 2/29 in Michigan!!! I love "global warming"!!

I totally understand -- today was the first spring drive here, too. Sunroof open, thrilling to the sound of the 3.2L "stereo," loving the views. Given that this is Seattle, I may not see another sunny day until June.

That's exactly what we had last week also...2 weeks in a row of this awesome weather. Spent last Sunday scrubbing and cleaning and detailing and wiping and rubbing, and....well, you get the idea....

I started up the 911 for the first time in 4 months. Drove it about 70 miles yesterday. Even though the temp was just in the high 50's it was great. Guess other guys felt the same. Pulled up to an intersection, on the right was a new 911, across from me was a Carrera, to my left was a Boxter. With the flashing and waving I'm sure the locals thought all h@ll was about to break loose.

I wasn't too crazy, I left the targa top on the car, but it was incredible driving the car with the windows open in February! Every Harley Davidson was out and they were all waving and complimenting the car, nice group having alot of fun doing the improbable (nice, warm day in Feb in MI).
