Spring is finally beginning to show itself up here in the North. Previous years I have been anxious and enthusiastic, looking forward to taking out the Carrera.

Today was a fantastic day. Sun shining threw a very light mist. No wind. Dry roads.

Went out into the garage - and just stood there, looking at the car. Suddenly I didnīt feel like it at all. I felt bored with it. The 'young kid in a candy store' feeling was gone!

I had planned on going on a longer trip, making a few stops in town. Looking forward to the winding country roads, the engine sound, the direct steering but the only thought I had was how tiresome it would be negotiating the car in traffic, fighting to put it in first gear at the red lights.

I sighed and went out. Went back in again. Took another long look at the Carrera and returned out. Grabbed the key to the effortless driving of the Grand Cherokee and left.

Whats happening to me? Is it a transient disease or have I become an old comfortable fart during this last winter.
